Ready to create show-stopping, mouthwatering color in your abstract paintings?
Color Pop Intensive: Chagall Blue, Eye Candy Palette, Hilda of Klint Neutrals & Magical Metallics
Let’s go way beyond basic color wheels and sink into the palettes—and play—of true masters.
In these four truly original sessions, you’ll:
- Channel the bold, radiant blues of Marc Chagall
- Mix your own “Eye Candy Palette” and use progressive maquettes to break new ground
- Embrace the subtle, organic power of Hilda af Klint’s neutrals and create your own gentle forms
- Dive into Magical Metallics—bring light, metallics, glass, and mirrors into your process for art that sparkles and transforms with every angle
Each session is a hands-on, paint-with-me experience, including:
- 4 recorded Zoom workshops for step-by-step exploration—move at your own pace, revisit anytime
- Yearlong access to all lessons, palette-mixing, and demo videos (option to extend through The Salon later)
- Theme-specific painting exercises—learn by doing, not just watching
- A super-supportive Facebook group for connection and feedback
- Flexible supply list—start with what you have or branch out as you go
Testimonials—Artists Say…
“Nancy Hillis continues to surprise me with inspiring, inventive coursework. Color Pop helped me move beyond theory into active, experimental color play. I loved the camaraderie, structure, and Nancy’s encouragement. Even when the Zooms ended, the learning and support in the Facebook group kept me going!”
“I always meant to practice color mixing, but never did until I had this supportive group and Nancy’s creative prompts lighting the way. So grateful for this experience.”
