Maybe you’ve had your personal “colors” analyzed before—Winter, Spring, Summer, or Fall—based on your skin tone, hair, and eyes. That system helped us understand what to wear.

But what about the colors that express who you are?

In this immersive 6-week series, you’ll explore your own “inner color palette”—the hues and tones that reflect your essence, your energy, and the way you move through the world. Think of it as discovering the palette you’re meant to paint with, not just dress in.

Are you a shades-of-blue who might focus on sky and water? Or a muted neutrals who could be painting portraits? Or perhaps a bold, splashy palette suggesting abstracts? Come discover the colors that work best with you to inform your painting process in your studio.

Using acrylic paints on provided canvases, you’ll spend the first sessions clarifying your personal palette. Once your core colors emerge, you’ll create a finished painting inspired by your unique artistic “color fingerprint.” The workshop is influenced by Johannes Itten’s groundbreaking work in The Art of Color and the introspective methods he developed with students in the late 1950s.

This series welcomes artists of all experience levels—from beginners to seasoned painters—who are curious about the deeper relationship between color and self.

Wear old clothes: acrylics don’t wash out!
