An expanded version of our Ultra-Blends 8-color set ! This exciting collection was inspired by our OG color-separating blend, CfM Riverbed . We wanted to try our hand at making even more layered colors—and once we got going, we couldn't stop! Team members were texting ideas, swatches and color scraps covered our work tables, and our resident poets began thinking up fun names . . . while in the span of a week two colors turned into three which turned into seven . . . you get the idea! CfM Ultra-Blends are custom colors with endless possibilities!

Alexis's go-to palette at her home studio! She calls it her "Remix" because it substitutes her all-time favorite core colors— Ultramarine Blue , Indigo , French Vermilion , and Titanium White —with Cerulean, CfM Plum, Rouge Vermilion, and CfM Mint! The bit of a twist these four colors provide gets her out of her comfort zone and into curiosity, so mixing leads to unexpected fun!

Thursday, July 30, 5:00pm - 6:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. Dorothy Hood was born in 1918 and spent her life in both Mexico and Texas. Her large abstract paintings are full of hard and soft edges, moments where the paint pools and gathers and places where the paint makes crisp lines and angles. Her colors are bold and inspired by the full range of colors found in both Mexico and Texas. With watercolors, we will play with some of Dorothy’s shapes by creating hard edges with tape, letting the watercolors be soft and blend, and create dynamic shapes with layered colors.
