Do you love bold and vibrant colors? Then this is the class for you! I invite you to join me on a journey painting this cute little birdhouse!
Hi! I’m Antoinette, a mixed-media artist that is in love with color and design. I’ll take you into a world of bright colors and different patterns giving your art layers of contrast and interest. 
 I will show you how to apply different colors in patterns and designs using my tips and process that I use in my art.
We will learn how to:
<ul><li>Gather information about color and patterns </li>
<li>Incorporate basic color theory,  specifically analogous and complementary colors</li>
<li>Plan color placement keeping in mind contrast and complementary colors</li>
<li>Get ideas for doodles, like dots, swirls, lines, spirals, etc.</li>
<li>Add patterns that will create interesting designs</li>
</ul>Don’t have a birdhouse? That’s ok! You can follow along on canvas or paper. If you are using paper, make sure it’s able to hold up with paint (140lb watercolor works great!)  You can also paint on a wooden shape like a heart or a letter. Just make sure it’s wood. 
 
This style of painting is a great addition to your art knowledge as it can be applied in your art as we are doing here, or even if you take one element and add it into the background of your work. The combinations and how you use it are endless!
