Each of the Open Studios and Studio Specials are a great opportunity to explore the “Three C’s” of the art experience I share with you ~ Creativity, Communication, and Contemplation.

Color Book Class, empty book, charts, supplies

Color Book Class

February 10

10 am – 3 pm

lunch is provided

$120

Class is limited to 6 people.

Bring your watercolor paints, pencils, and brushes to Kathleen O’Brien Studio for a fun-filled, fascinating day to explore your colors. I provide a 16-page handmade journal, with Arches Cover paper, to use as a playground. You will begin to fill the journal with charts of your colors.
Whether a journey into a work of art, when you observe and decide how to interpret a scene with a color choice and make notes of it to aid in future use, or over time you may use the book as a Memory Theater of a day or a trip to depict activities and things seen along the way. This way of journaling results in a tangible visual account of a life well lived in color.
