Stephen Quiller
Color & Watercolor for the Painter Workshop 2026
June 10,11,12, 2026
St Philip Lutheran Church, 7531 S Kendall Blvd, Littleton, CO 80128, USA
This three day workshop is devoted to the medium of watercolor, and the color palette. The focus will be on color, mixing, color, harmony, and color relationships to help with artist expression. My books, COLOR CHOICES & COLOR FOR THE PAINTER will be used for reference.
The workshop will help the artist to use the palette, not only as a place to put paint, but as an educational tool, to learn to use color in many different ways to express themselves. Artists that are using another medium such as acrylic can still take the course as long as they arrange their colors in the same order.
By the third day, a little gouache may be used along with the watercolor.
