Red and Blue DON'T make Violet Or rather, what kind of violet DO they make? Jane Lincoln is an expert in color theory, concentrating on the precision and relationships of colors in her own art. In this workshop, you will learn how to mix pigments in such a way that you will finally get exactly what you have in mind. Students will work in oil or acrylic with a painting knife.
