SUMMARY:Understanding and Using Color with Confidence with Jane Skafte
DESCRIPTION:Color is one of the most expressive and powerful elements in watercolor painting. In this workshop\, you’ll learn practical color theory and immediately apply it to small watercolor studies and paintings of your own. With a deeper understanding of how color works\, you’ll be better able to create paintings that reflect your intentions and capture the mood\, atmosphere\, and beauty you envision. We’ll begin with the fundamentals of color mixing and gradually explore more complex color relationships.

Please bring photo references for inspiration. These may include your own printed photographs as well as materials that contain colors you find compelling—fabric swatches\, magazine clippings\, postcards\, packaging\, natural objects\, or other ephemera.

SUMMARY:Smithsonian Associates presents an evening lecture: James Wilson - The Lost Founding Father
DESCRIPTION:Most people know the words “We hold these truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created equal”—but few know the story of the man who helped shape the ideas behind them.  Join us as we uncover James Wilson’s contributions to the founding of our country. We are excited to bring to you James Wilson: The Lost Founding Father\, the first in our Smithsonian Associates live virtual lecture series of programs.  Few may know the story of James Wilson and his contributions to both the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution.  Instead of being remembered as one of the nation’s great political thinkers\, Wilson was virtually written out of history. Author Jesse Wegman brings to life one of America’s most prescient early patriots and his remarkable\, complicated legacy. \nRegister for this program here!
