An upcoming class will help artists use more dynamic colors.

The Austin Area Art Center and William Olson will host a colored pencil drawing class from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 15. The class will focus on the color wheel, complementary color, and how to use color theory to mix, blend and layer a limited color palette into works of art.

The cost is $35 for Art Center members and $40 for non-members.
