MINI-WORKSHOPS
Mini Workshops are formal classes. They are usually two-to-four-hour sessions in which an experienced instructor or artist (a SRAL member or a community artist) teaches a medium, technique, or other useful information for SRAL members. They are free but have a limited number of attendees. Therefore, members must register to attend. In the past, we have had mini workshops on how to critique one’s artwork, Gelli printing, color, etc. If you have questions regarding any Mini Workshop or if you need to cancel a registration, contact Susan Ettl, Education Committee Chairperson, at SusanE@SantaRitaArt.org.
Using the Color Harmony Wheel in Your Painting Process
Instructor: Layne Cook Johnson
We all know what the Color Wheel is but using it to achieve harmonious palettes can be confusing. This particular color wheel does an excellent job of explaining the functions. Layne will explain and demonstrate how she uses it to establish color schemes, make adjustments to a painting that’s not working, or find an accent color to make the painting pop.
Date: Sunday, March 8, 2026
Time: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM
Location: SRAL Studio
Maximum Number of Participants: 20

Cancellation Procedure: If you need to cancel attending this class, please send an email to Susan Ettl, Education Committee Chairperson, at SusanE@santaritaart.org in order for her to remove your name from the registration list. This will enable someone on the waiting list to take your spot.
At the studio, there will be someone there to sign people in, give name tags.
Biography
Layne graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Art with no idea what she intended to do with it. She landed a job in Kitchen Design, which turned out to be an ideal fit. Upon retirement, in 2001 she started painting, first in chalk pastels and acrylics then later in oils. She currently works in oil and sells her work in galleries in Seattle and Sisters, Oregon and Carmel, California.
