Learn how palette choices affect the art-work you create. Without painting color wheels and charts, we will explore color theory by creating several paintings, each using a different color scheme. &lt;strong&gt;Bring your own acrylics or oils (&lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Documents/Materials%20Lists/Color%20Theory%20Oil-Acry%20list.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;materials list here&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/paintkits" target="_blank"&gt;purchase a kit&lt;/a&gt; from the NHAC.

&lt;br&gt;
Learn how palette choices affect the art-work you create. Without painting color wheels and charts, we will explore color theory by creating several paintings, each using a different color scheme. &lt;strong&gt;Bring your own acrylics or oils (&lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/resources/Documents/Materials%20Lists/Color%20Theory%20Oil-Acry%20list.pdf" target="_blank"&gt;materials list here&lt;/a&gt;) or &lt;a href="https://northhillsartcenter.org/paintkits" target="_blank"&gt;purchase a kit&lt;/a&gt; from the NHAC. Canvases will be provided.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
