Color as Expression: Beyond Realism

Begins Tuesday, November 4, 2025 | 10 AM – 1 PM | $280
Designed for artists looking to loosen up and explore the passionate potential of color, this course channels Matisse’s love of vivid, sometimes unexpected color combinations. Students will practice using brushwork and color relationships to express mood and personality in everyday subjects, moving beyond realism to discover a more personal, expressive style.

This course is designed for painters at all levels, from beginners looking to build confidence to more experienced artists eager to deepen their practice. All classes take place at Nadra Clark Gallery, 256 US-1, Scarborough, Maine.
