If you cherish the convenience of learning from the comfort of your own space, my online classes provide a flexible and accessible avenue to explore your artistic passions.

PALETTE PLAYBOOK - Self-paced online class

Color possesses an elusive quality that captivates the imagination and challenges the artist: it is ever-changing, dependent on light, and influenced by its surroundings, making it both a mystery to be solved and a language to be learned. It's not just about the colors themselves but how they interact, set a mood, tell a story, and evoke emotions. The pursuit of understanding this intricate dance of hues has been at the heart of my artistic journey.

I aim to share the nuances of color theory, the joy of experimentation, and the satisfaction of creating a personal color swatch book that becomes a vital tool in your art practice. I’ll provide step-by-step detailed instructions, ensuring a clear and systematic approach to building this invaluable resource.

  • "Wendy, I found your Color Palette Playbook class and watched it this afternoon. Nicely done! I will be doing this when I get home from vacation this week. I have been working with color for many years and I taught color theory classes when I was an Associate Professor at Oregon State University. While I use my color mixing knowledge when working on my gel plate, I haven’t worked a lot with layered color mixture, so this approach will help to give me more information for my studio work."

  • "Yesterday and today, I viewed all the videos for Palette Playbook. First, let me say that I am blown away by how professional it all is. From your words to the images to the videos, and your calm relaxed manner while explaining everything in great detail. I kept thinking what an excellent course this would make for an art school - it is that good! Love that the videos are short. That gives people time and space to absorb what you’re saying. And even the little tips were so helpful. Honestly, you’ve thought of everything, and I am so impressed."
