SUPPLY LIST
The idea behind this palette is that you have a warm and a cool of each primary (e.g. Cadmium Red and Alizarin Crimson) and one of each secondary (a green, and orange and Dioxazine Purple). Use your current paint inventory, as long as it is NOT student grade, to come as close as you can to that concept. No need to go and spend hundreds of dollars on new paints.
Most importantly, bring your sense of discovery and ask lots of questions. Color is like music....it's not for me to tell you what chords to use or what your voice is, my role is to guide you to finding a voice that suits and reflects who you are. With a good understanding of harmonic structure and theory you'll be adding a wonderful new dimension to your work in just a few classes.
