Finding Your Signature Palette

Discover the colors that define your artistic voice

Color is one of the most personal choices an artist makes. In this workshop, artists will learn how to develop a signature color palette—a thoughtful group of colors that reflects their personal style, creative interests, and emotional tone. A signature palette can help create cohesion within a body of work, support a new series, and make an artist’s work feel more unified and recognizable across subjects and mediums.

Students will experiment with color relationships, mood, contrast, temperature, and personal preference. 

This workshop is ideal for artists who want to bring more unity to their paintings, begin a new series, refresh their color choices, or better understand how color can support their artistic voice. The class is designed for all levels and encourages curiosity, play, and personal expression.
