The Value of Value - 2-Day Acrylic Painting Workshop with Laura Miller
Class | Available
Value is an important concept in painting. The perception of color, emphasis, harmony, and mood is related to value (how bright or dark colors are). In this workshop, we will warm up with exercises that will include discernment of value and color in a photo, perceiving the value of a color, perspective value, the process of blocking in, and color mixing. Using a limited palette will stretch our skills and help us better understand the visual weight that color brings to a composition.
All supplies included.
All Levels, ages 16 +
Laura Miller
I am a self-taught artist with a flair for color. I am a member of Oliver Art Center and Northport Art Association. I have been represented in my work by OAC, NAA and Glen Arbor Arts Center. The honor of winning the Tree City USA poster contest Frankfort for 2020, first place in 2D Art at OAC in the Juried Exhibition 2022, and First place Plein Air 2024 at OAC has been a delight and humbling experience. I continue to broaden my skills with any instruction given and with online class/workshops.
I see the world in full color. So much color, metaphorically. I can’t remember a time that art wasn’t a part of me. I grew up drawing, doodling, coloring, painting and creating things any chance I got. I would watch Bob Ross and buy every step by step painting book I could find in our little town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. I was teaching myself at every opportunity.
I paint to feed my soul. I hope it feed yours, also.
