Spend two days immersed in color, painting the Virginia landscape as summer turns to fall. Working from a limited palette, students will learn a clear framework for color mixing and a direct approach to capturing light and form. We will deeply explore how value, temperature, and saturation interact to create the color relationships we see in nature.

The changing of the seasons is a special time to sharpen our perceptual skills. The fading greens of late summer and the early golds of fall offer subtle, ever-shifting colors to observe and mix. Beyond skill building, the workshop is an invitation to slow down and practice patience & presence in a beautiful setting.

All experience levels welcome. Whether you’re new to color theory or want to deepen your understanding, you’ll leave with fundamentals you can apply to any subject.
