Case for Making Color Mix & Match with Alexis Joseph
Thursday, June 25, 5:00pm - 6:30pm PT This is an online workshop held via Zoom. What if understanding how watercolor is made completely changed how you use it? In this watercolor primer, CfM founder Alexis Joseph starts at the very beginning -- demonstrating how a batch of watercolor paint is made from pure pigment. Once you understand the material, everything else starts to click into place. From there, we'll build together: color wheel, basic brush handling, color mixing, and a series of color charts where you'll practice creating gradations of tints and shades to keep as reference.

But we've been illustrating our relationship to our environment for as long as we've been human (or arguably even before that) – and for most of that time, it wasn't about technical perfection.
