Welcome to the wonderful world of color and watercolor paint !

In this class we’ll explore a few of the ideas and exercises from Lisa’s new book A Field Guide To Color. Through a playful approach you’ll begin to learn about color schemes, paint transparency, tints and shades, etc. With fun painterly experiments we'll dive into how materials and other influences can impact our perception of color, and how to develop your own personal relationship with color. We’ll end class with a Color Meditation - a practice Lisa has instituted in her own studio for years now.

Admission to class includes a "Field Guide to Color" watercolor kit curated by ARCH and Lisa Solomon (a $35 value) and PDF download access to some templates that are not included in the book.

About Lisa:

Lisa Solomon is a mixed media artist whose work has been exhibited and collected all over the world. She received her BA in art practice from UC Berkeley and her MFA from Mills College, and has been a professor in the Bay Area for 15+ years. As a Hapa (her mother is Japanese and her father is Jewish Caucasian) she is profoundly interested in personal identity, and all things chroma. Her work reflects this as well as an incredible love for textiles. She regularly uses “craft” materials and techniques in a “fine art” context. Another important focus of hers is bridging the gaps between being creative, living creatively, and making a living as a creative.
