Class Description:

Bright, straight-from-the-tube colors can feel loud and overwhelming. So how do you get those cozy, earthy autumn colors with your basic palette colors? In this 30-minute class, we'll paint a simple stack of round, curvy Cinderella pumpkins, and use them to learn how to mute colors by mixing opposites in a controlled way.

Don't worry if you're new to color mixing! We'll take it step by step, and by the end of class you'll know how to tone down any color with precision. It's a skill you'll use in every painting you make. You’ll walk away with a cute pumpkin painting and a greater appreciation for color theory wizardry.

What You Will Learn:

  • How to mute colors by mixing complementary colors
  • How to control your mixes so they stay clean, not muddy
  • How to create an earthy, autumnal palette
  • How to paint the round, ribbed shape of a Cinderella pumpkin
  • How to arrange a simple, pleasing pumpkin stack

Supplies You'll Need:

  • Watercolor paper
  • Watercolor paint (any basic 12-color student-grade set will have what you need)
  • A medium round paintbrush
  • Two jars of water
  • Rag or paper towels
  • A mixing palette
  • Pencil and eraser
