Oct 2024 Meeting Video Online


At the Oct 21, 2024 meeting, Michael Story presented “Improving Your Paintings By Mastering Color Schemes”. Michael gave a comprehensive explanation of Monochromatic, Complementary and Analogous Colors and showed how the key fundamentals for mastering color can improve your artwork regardless of the medium.


Michael shared his extensive prepared color charts showing how to lighten and darken the colors on your palette, mixing greens and grays, and how and when to use white and black in your mixtures. Monochromatic, complementary and analogous color schemes were discussed and demonstrated concluding with some of Michael's finished paintings that utilize these painting methods.


We had great attendance with 71 participants: 52 in-person members, 16 members by Zoom and 3 guests. Thank you to everyone for joining the fun!

A reminder to our members:


Each month, we hold a new themed contest in the TAP Gallery. All CCAL members are invited to participate. Simply create your best piece according to the theme and bring it to hang on the start date listed below. (Be sure to bring your gallery wall label.) Only original works only are permitted in judged theme contests (no prints please).


Exhibits typically change the same night as our monthly member meeting. Be sure to take home your artwork at the end of the exhibit!!


A monthly Award Winner will be selected and awarded a ribbon for themed exhibits. Happy creating! In order to give our members more time to paint ahead for the TAP Gallery Exhibits, we will be trying to keep a yearly list of upcoming themes published in advance.
