Color Theory for Bead and Fiber Artists
This workshop will focus on the basics of color theory and help demystify why some colors work well together, why others don't, and how to get a pleasing palette in your work. Sometimes artists get in "color ruts" and tend to go with just blues or just reds, but this workshop will help you break out of your color rut and feel comfortable with new and exciting color combinations. Alanna has developed a technique she uses in her artwork to help pick colors. Students will leave the workshop confident about their choices and with a good color sense. Students are asked to bring pictures/objects with colors they like or colors they usually use.
