HOUSTON FESTIVAL LECTURE PREVIEW
Lecture #564 - "The Magic of Color Interaction" with MJ Kinman
Fri., Nov. 1, 1-2 pm
Color plays a pivotal role in MJ Kinman's giant gem quilts. Over the past 25+ years, she's learned ways to approach color with confidence and is delighted to share these methods and ideas with you. Kinman's lecture is targeted to helping you gain confidence when working with color choices. She starts with basic color theory using a standard color wheel. Learn how our brains crave harmony and why certain color combinations satisfy that craving. Kinman then moves beyond basic color theory to explore how a color can "change" simply by being placed next to other colors. She will demonstrate how to create sparkle with value contrast and how to make quilts glow with saturation contrast. Kinman will show how to create effective transparencies, understanding how to achieve the illusion of fabric sliding over and under one another. Finally, she'll show you how to change the appearance of a color just by changing its neighboring hue in a variety of ways.
