Yesterday I said our farthest artist in the 30SAL Challenge might be Jennifer Econopouly in Bali. Then I received this note from Rachel Stockley: “I think you’ll find New Zealand at 11,613 trumps Bali for distance participation!”

Take a class with SAL – anywhere! Colors are shifty buggers. The way we process visual information causes colors to change in relationship to what they’re next to, giving us a constant source of optical illusions. This makes mixing accurate color rather complicated. Below are a few optical quandaries to illustrate how complicated this “accurate seeing” stuff …
