Mitch Kolbe – Limited Pallet
As a limited pallet suggests, I will be using three primary oil colors, plus white to capture the beauty of Christmas Park in natural and realistic yet vivid colors, to show the audience that one need not spend a fortune on supplies in order to get started painting in oils. I will spend a little time explaining the process then paint a scene, leaving time for any Q&A afterwards. No need for spectators to bring any supplies other than a notebook and pen to jot down information. I will stay as long as the spectators request to answer any questions.
