COLOUR THEORY
2 Day Workshop | Ages 17+
Sat Sun, May 6 + 7 | 11 a.m. - 4 p.m. BOTH DAYS
Day 1: Colour Wheel and Chroma charts
Participants will create a colour wheel and chroma charts. This will help them to understand mixing, colour relationships, and harmonies, as well as the 3 properties of colour: Value, Temperature and Intensity.
Participants will then put this into practice by doing value studies (B/W) of the still life at hand, first by doing a single object value painting using limited brush strokes (this makes the student think in simple shapes rather than details), and then doing colour versions of such matching colours to their corresponding values.
NOTE: Participants will be asked to bring diverse landscape photos for day 2
Day 2: Landscape Painting
Participants will use their colour wheels as reference to make studies (B/W) to understand atmospheric perspective and composition. Later they will produce a colour version(s) of their photo references.
Supplies Provided - Recommended to bring a sketchbook for note taking.
