Melanie Morris

Landscapes – It’s All About Color (CANCELLED)
May 18 & 19
Friday & Saturday
​10 AM - 4 PM
$450

Color can be confusing – figuring out how to mix a color or deciding what color goes where.  Melanie will walk students step by step through how to mix colors.  She will paint several demos throughout the workshop showing the class how she approaches a landscape painting from composition to deciding when a painting is finished. 
If you want to learn how to use color in your landscapes or you are just tired of buying all those tubes of paint and “tubing it” then this is the class for you. This class is appropriate for all levels – from beginner to advanced.  

"I loved Melanie’s class. It forced me out of my comfort zone and made me see the way to approach a painting in a way that is different from my norm. It is different in a positive way. I know that I will apply some of the techniques I picked up in the class to my artistic endeavors. I look forward to the next opportunity I have to join one of Melanie’s workshops."  Kathy- Birmingham, AL
