New color class began today

I really enjoy teaching adults. And I especially enjoy teaching practical color theory in a color mixing class that I developed last year. This foundation course is based upon the Michael Wilcox School of Color, Ltd.

I'm teaching the class in the new StutzArtspace Classroom located just off of Bearcat Alley on the ground floor of the Stutz. This is a new non-profit teaching space for artist/instructors who are residents of the Stutz.

I have always loved color and studied color theory informally for more than 30 years. My art education in college was seriously lacking in instruction about practical color theory. After college I created a small study group with several colleagues to study color, but we only succeeded in learning about the physics of color and the theoretical research of color pioneers such as Faber Birren and Josef Albers.

Eventually I stumbled onto the work of Albert Munsell and the Munsell self-study educational tools. About the same time I found an early self-study workbook by Michael Wilcox, who eventually founded the School of Color, Ltd. These two programs unlocked the secrets of paint color mixing for me, which I now pass on to my students in a very hands-on 4-day color mixing workshop.
