ART ABOUT TOWN

Counting Sheep Antiques, 79 Central Street, Berlin, Ma, 01503

bullet Color and Design Workshop - Friday, May 31st, from 7:00pm to 10:00pm

Working with Anne Sloan's workbook (supplied), I will take you to an understanding of colors and how they work. By creating your own color wheel, you will learn the art of complimentary colors - cool vs warm, making greys, using whites (and which whites to use), mixing colors, matching color tones, etc.

We will explore using different colors to create different styles such as Rococo, Neo-classical, Rustic, Modern and more.

From this workshop we are hoping to form a monthly "Color Club" where we will continue working in our workbooks together.

Call Sally at Counting Sheep (978.415.0049) for more details and to sign up for this rare opportunity to take colors to a new level.

Post Road Art Center, 1 Boston Post Road, Marlborough, Ma, 01752.
