Colorways-Mixing Colors

Colorways-Mixing Colors

Colorways – Mixing Colors In-Person

October 13, Sunday, 12:30-3:30pm.
Max: 6 students | Taught with Two Hands Paperie in Boulder, CO
Cost: $115; includes materials but see the list of Class Materials.

Learn how to mix colors and how to understand color relationships in this hands-on watercolor class. It’s led by Lexis Krieg, a Denver artist known for colorful art that’s full of joy. She specializes in designing workshops that help students connect to their own color and joy so that they feel more grounded, calm, and present.

 

Everyone receives the same dot card of watercolors. The card contains the three primary colors, from which you’ll create a multitude of other colors. It’s important that everyone is using the same watercolors for this class. (If you’ve ever compared red from one watercolor set to the red in another, you know what we’re talking about. They’re not the same, and the result when they’re mixed with another color is not the same.)  


Lexis talks about color relationships and color terminology while guiding you through the class worksheets. She’s specifically designed these worksheets to give you direct experience in creating colors from just the three primary colors on your card. Practice how to “work through mud” (!!), why the order in which colors are laid down matters, what color equations are, and when color swatching is useful. 

We’re amazed that Lexis has packed so much about color into one class. You’re bound to make a few joyful discoveries while gaining practical experience in mixing and using colors. We can hardly wait to see what you create!

Materials for class:

  • For students to bring:

    • Optional: apron

  • Provided by Two Hands Paperie:

    • Pre-printed worksheets designed by Lexis

    • Watercolor dot cards handmade by Lexis

    • Flower Dish Palette

    • Extra watercolor paper for practice

    • Graphite pencils and erasers

    • Watercolors for students to use during class

    • Paint brushes for students to use during class

Artzine-Ready, Set, Draw!

Artzine-Ready, Set, Draw!

Artzine – Ready, Set, Draw! In-Person

September 14, Saturday, 1-4pm.
Taught with Two Hands Paperie in Boulder, CO
Max: 6 students.
Cost: $95; includes most materials but see the list of Class Materials.  

There’s never enough time, is there, to get everything done and make art. Like many creatives, Denver artist Lexis Krieg wants to make the most of the free moments that open up during the day. Her solution? A little “Artzine” that she created at the last minute for a weekend trip. She knew she had to think simple if she hoped to create while on vacation.

Rescuing a large watercolor test sheet from her studio, Lexis folded and cut the single sheet of paper into a little journal. She clipped 3 pens – a black pen and 2 coordinating colors – to the front and was set to draw on the go. The Artzine turned out to be an inspired idea! Her little book wasn’t as formal as a regular journal, so she found it easy to be free and play with ideas. Both the process and limited materials made her look forward to finding moments to draw, even when it felt like there wasn’t enough time or space. 

Join Lexis in the store to make an Artzine like hers and to learn what rules she made up for herself to keep the art quick, easy, and on demand. Lexis has prepared a worksheet of marks and patterns for you to copy, or go ahead and create your own. Use your Artzine for art on the go, as a simple travel journal, or as a way to capture inspiration.

Materials for class:

  • For students to bring:

    • Favorite drawing/writing tool in a few colors. Some work better over watercolor than others. Suggestions: Gelly Roll, Posca Paint pens, or colored pencils. The pencils can be standard or watercolor pencils. We’ll supply a black pen

    • Optional: There are watercolors and brushes available for you to use in class, but bring in your own if you’d like to work with familiar materials. Lexis suggests a set with fewer than 10 colors. Results are better with at least student grade paints. Some basic sets that work are Ooly Lil Pods ($), Prang Oval Watercolor Set ($), Cotman Water Colour Sketchers Pocket Box ($$), Koi Watercolor Pocket Field Sketch Travel Kit ($$), and Prima Watercolor Confections sets ($$).

    • Optional: Favorite watercolor brushes. You are supplied 2 brushes to keep.

    • Optional: Small spray bottle of water for wetting your watercolors

    • Optional: color and pattern inspiration in the form of magazines, books, cards, textiles, etc.


  • Class fee includes materials provided by Two Hands Paperie:

    • Two brushes to keep: short handle Fan brush, size 2, and Round brush, size 12

    • Paper Mate Flair, medium black pen for students to take home

    • Paper to create 2 ArtZine booklets

    • Water containers/water

    • Paper towels

    • Small scraps of watercolor paper to practice on

    • Drafting/masking tape

    • Use of watercolor sets + brushes
