Do you love color? Is the common thread in all your work an expression of color? Then why not spend a day exploring paintings about color. Mark Rothko, probably the best know "color field" painter, did just that. Using layers of rich color subtly selected and placed, his work created a sense of depth and space and dynamic tension. In this one-day, acrylic workshop we will briefly explore color contrasts and create three to five different color stories.
