Learn to capture nature's living colors through guided mixed-media exercises
Nature doesn't hand you pre-mixed colors; you discover them in rust-stained bark, rain-soaked stones, and the subtle shift between morning and evening light. Emma Burleigh structures this eight-week course around that discovery process, teaching you to see pigment possibilities everywhere before translating them through mixed-media techniques. Twenty years of teaching experience shows in how activities build progressively, early exercises train observation skills while later projects layer techniques you've already practiced.
The flexibound format lies flat during hands-on work, practical when you're moving between reference pages and your workspace. Burleigh includes contributions from artists working in mediums she introduces, providing multiple perspectives on approaching the same materials. Exercises encourage intuitive responses rather than rigid copying; you learn to recognize when "mistakes" reveal better directions than your original plan.
Each week focuses on specific natural color families and corresponding techniques, from capturing sunset gradations to finding anthropomorphic forms in organic textures. The contemplative pacing suits artists wanting to develop observational skills alongside technical ability. You work through fundamental color mixing, then apply those skills to increasingly complex compositions drawn from natural subjects you encounter daily.
