(UK timings)
This LivePlus™ online workshop is ideal for absolute beginners and those who would like to build their confidence with colour mixing. This is a work-along workshop and so we would encourage students to have their materials to hand, ready to participate live during the class.
Workshop details
Explore the wonderful world of colour! Karen will take you through simple colour-mixing techniques to enable you to paint with confidence. Learn how to mix a huge range of colours from a small selection of paints, creating a set of mini pictures as we go.
We’ll start off with the absolute basics of colour mixing using just a small set of primary colours, creating a wide range of tints and tones – you will never need to buy lots of different tubes of paint ever again! From there we will explore harmonious and complimentary palettes and how to make a painting ‘pop,’ using a variety of exercises. From colour swatches to creative compositions – this is a fun way to play with pigments, learn a little colour theory and create some mini works of art along the way!
You can work along during the class in watercolour, gouache or acrylics – the choice is yours. The emphasis of this class is on understanding colour rather than specific paint techniques.
