Colour theory can be incomprehensible to some people but it’s invaluable for successful design. This workshop offers an easy framework to understand the relationships between colours better, it shows how colour can be used to the artist’s best advantage and develops an awareness of the visual effects of particular combinations. We will carry out several practical exercises, take an analytical look at how artists use colour to create different effects and consider which colour wheel is most useful for you. By understanding colour theory you will develop the ability to use colour effectively and confidently, and to achieve your design intentions
You’ll be able to do some of the practical tasks but not all of them in the time. There will be interactive discussions to participate in, which will enhance your understanding.
It may be quite difficult to work along with me as you’d be measuring, marking, cutting and folding at the same time as watching how to do it all, so I’d suggest watching and then have a go yourself, referring to the recording for anything you missed first time around.
You’ll be asked to mute your sound, but there will be opportunities to ask questions and contribute to the processes.
After booking your place PDF handouts will be emailed to you 3 days before the workshop date. The recording cannot be downloaded but will be available to view for 30 days afterwards.
Any links sent to you should not be shared with anyone else, as per the Ts & Cs, thank you.
