Discover the freedom found within restraint. In this one-day workshop, you’ll explore the surprising power of using a limited palette—not as a restriction, but as a tool for achieving beautiful color harmony, enhancing your mixing skills, and setting a unified mood in your paintings.

Working from a fall-inspired still life set in natural light, you’ll be guided through techniques such as underpainting, wet-into-wet application, palette knife texture, and creative mark-making with alternative tools. Autumn’s rich organic subjects provide the perfect introduction to this approach, whether you’re brand new to limited palettes or looking to deepen your practice.

It’s a full day of exploration, skill-building, and inspiration—designed to stretch your creativity in all the best ways. Some supplies provided. Best suited for oil and acrylic painters with some experience. Students will receive a supply list after they register.

The cost is $102 plus supplies.
