Painting Workshop "Color Mixing with the Limited Palette" with Cody Wheelock

  • Albrecht-Kemper Museum of Art 2818 Frederick Avenue Saint Joseph, MO, 64506 United States (map)

Join professional artist Cody Wheelock for a focused, one-day workshop dedicated to color mixing with a limited palette. Designed for beginner to intermediate artists, this hands-on class will demystify color by grounding it in clear, practical principles rather than guesswork. We’ll cover the essentials of color theory, introduce a simple, repeatable framework for mixing harmonious color, and apply it together through a guided color-mixing project. By the end of the day, students will leave with a deeper understanding of how color actually works, greater confidence using a limited palette, and learn tools they can immediately use in their own painting practice.

  • 11x14” stretched canvas or canvas panel for project

  • 8x10” canvas panel or canvas sheet for mixing practice
