Maybe you need some help with color mixing, or maybe you need a push to use color in a more creative way.
This workshop will cover just enough color theory to help you mix clean, brilliant colors and beautiful neutrals — no more muddy mixtures or too-garish colors. You CAN learn to mix the color you want every time!
This workshop is open to representational painters working in any medium.
About Judy Vilmain
Judy Vilmain is a Psychologist and painter living in Providence, Rhode Island, and is an Exhibiting Artist Member of the Providence Art Club. Her work includes intimate outdoor scenes and still-life paintings.
“With the objects I choose, and the way in which I paint them, I’m trying to present a world that feels familiar, solid, and grounded, hopefully providing the viewer a quiet break from the chaos.
Regardless of the subject matter, I’m always considering the formal aspects of a painting: color, line, shape, and surface texture. Using these, I work towards a level of realism that still shows the hand of the painter — I want the viewer to keep moving back and forth between “seeing” the three-dimensional objects and seeing the paint and brushstrokes that created the illusion.
That back and forth is what I find magical in a painting.”
