"PAINTINGS AND

 COLOR USE"  

"All the art masters say Paint What You Know, they don't say you have to only paint what you see.  You can paint what you feel!  How about learning how color vibrates?  What does it mean when you place green in painting? I will have some examples of the use of color based on what you feel about the subject."
