This PART 1 colour workshop is a deep dive into the world of colour for painters who want to strengthen their understanding and sharpen their control of colour in their work. We’ll explore the major aspects of colour in a practical, hands‑on way - including colour terminology, colour bias, warm and cool relationships, value, mixing clean colours, and understanding the colour wheel. Throughout the session you’ll work through a series of guided exercises, tips, and techniques designed to improve your colour confidence and expand your creative options. Bring your paintings you’ve completed or works currently in progress and at the end of the class we’ll spend time discussing your pieces and, if time allows, apply your new colour knowledge directly to your own artwork.
WHAT YOU’LL LEARN:
The Colour Wheel
Colour terminology
Understanding Your Own Paints
Warm and Cool Colours: Colour bias
