Saturday, January 10; 1pm to 4pm

Instructor: Suzy Kopf

Are you interested in learning more about color mixing, matching, and creating the perfect green in watercolor? This is the workshop for you. Artist Suzy Kopf will cover all the basics of color theory, including complementary colors, tertiary colors, warm/cool colors, and how to dull or brighten your color. You will become confident in mixing your desired colors the first time, every time.

You will complete color exercises and then create your own color chart, and leave with an understanding of what colors complement, clash, and blend.

No experience is necessary, just bring all your color questions!

Suzy Kopf is a multidisciplinary artist who scrutinizes the paper ephemera of midcentury consumer culture to probe the enduring mythos of the American Dream. Through water media paintings, collages and site-specific installations she excavates archival materials and inherited nostalgia for utopias erected and cast aside. Formerly a college art professor teaching watercolor painting, professional development, and museum studies at Johns Hopkins University, Maryland Institute College of Art, and Anne Arundel Community College, Suzy is now exclusively working with adult learners and focusing on her own studio practice. In 2023 after sixteen years on the east coast, Suzy and her partner moved home to San Francisco to be closer to family. They enjoy walking the San Francisco hills with their two rescue pups, Theodore Roosevelt and Penny Lane.
