In this one-day technique class, Kathleen works directly from her own garden to determine the component colors needed for a string palette. Staring with an open palette, she determines the range of hues needed for a specific rose variety. You will learn how she builds a string palette following a simple and logical approach. This method of painting eliminates the confusion and inefficiency of an open palette with its use of complementary color. You  can paint in a fluid and confident way while creating very small shifts of hue, value, and chroma. 

Kathleen relies on a limited palette to tackle the extremely subtle and beautiful color range found in garden roses. You can use this versatile method with any subject you might choose on your own in the future.
