Color Conversations 

A Three-Part Wet-on-Wet Watercolor Painting Masterclass with Kelly Beekman

Strengthen your Artistic Foundations. Spend time in the World of Color.
Learn the Language that Colors Speak.

Have you ever been curious about what Color could teach you?

We all experience color in a very deep way, and when we build a relationship to the different colors, we can make more informed choices for our artwork.  Artist Kelly Beekman will lead you on a journey to connect with your own intuition and understand the Creative Power of Color.

This Masterclass is designed to radically shift your approach and understanding of Color through hands-on painting experiences.

  • Practice wet-on-wet water color painting techniques
  • ​Learn the intervals of color and the three most important color relationships
  • Gain insights on the power of color and its effects on mood and emotions
  • ​Become more confident with color in your artwork

ALISON

"Kelly was great. There were times when a topic lit her up inside which led to great moments in the class. I'm glad I got to learn from her. Her lesson on how to use colors when making representational painting was illuminating. I'll definitely use that."
