Sharon Knettell at Scottsdale Artists' School

[Chris Saper]

Sharon's workshop on color and design was among most fun workshops I have ever attended.

The first day began with a lecture/background on color and design in art history, as well as their application for artists. Sharon set up 7 or so still life arrangements each showing a different color harmony example.

Below are my quick color studies, one of which is a blue orange complementary harmony, and other may have been called a triple-tetradic-split double helix - well, Sharon will know and tell you. Linda or Sharon may have other students' studies as well.

The objective was to observe and record color as accurately as possible.
