Color Therapy
for Artists

Presented by Roberta Buckles

Color is one of the most powerful—and often misunderstood—elements in painting. In this presentation, we’ll explore practical strategies for mixing colors accurately, understanding palettes and paint choices, and applying the four pillars of color to create stronger, more cohesive artwork. We’ll also discuss how color relationships influence mood, focus, and visual impact. Participants will leave with greater confidence in making color decisions and overcoming common color challenges in their paintings.
