This class challenges students to shift how they see color by learning to identify colors as layered relationships rather than single values\, and by painting the first color they perceive last. Through transparent watercolor glazing\, students build complex reds and surrounding hues that evolve as successive layers are applied—much like stacking panes of glass\, where each layer subtly alters the colors beneath it. \n\nCost: $150 for Kelly Members OR $165 for Non-members\nRecommended Experience: Beginner and Up\nClass Size: Maximum of 12 and Minimum of 6\nSupplies Included\n\n<>\nInterested in Kelly member discounts on classes? Membership only starts at $50 a year! \n  \nInstructor Portfolio: URL:https://thekelly.org/event/watercolor-methodology-red-cardinal/ LOCATION:The Kelly Fitzpatrick Center for the Arts\, 301 Hill Street\, Wetumpka\, AL\, 36092 CATEGORIES:Adult Programs,Art Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/webp:https://thekelly.org/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/2026-Event-Covers28-e1774988203151.webp END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260418 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260517 DTSTAMP:20260404T093802 CREATED:20260331T164308Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260331T164308Z UID:10001487-1776470400-1778975999@thekelly.org SUMMARY:The Kelly's Own DESCRIPTION:Join the Kelly in appreciating our Artist Associates members and the wonderful art they create through this upcoming exhibition!
