Course details
In the first of our Creative Colour classes we will be exploring the ravishing reds! From the palest of pinks, through hot flame reds and magentas, to rich wines and burgundies; red is the colour of passion, energy and power.
We will start with a brief look at cultural and artistic references around our chosen hue, then we'll move on making our own reference boards collecting colours from a variety of sources. We will put this to practical use with colour-swatching, colour mixing, and exploring colour relationships. This will be the springboard to a series of fun exercises which you can work along with if you wish…. these will be different for each of the Creative Colour classes, allowing you to build an exciting collection of approaches and images to fill a sketchbook, make into cards, or hang on the wall!
These classes are a chance to learn a bit of colour theory in a playful, relaxed and informative way…. they are suitable for everyone who has an enthusiasm for all things colourful! No experience needed, Karen will be doing lots of demos and will give step-by-step instructions. You can work in watercolour, gouache or acrylics – the emphasis will be on understanding colour rather than specific paint techniques.
Specific skills you will learn
- Colour mixing using modern & traditional primaries
- Understanding colour relationships
- Using contrast to make a painting ‘pop’
- Exploring transparency & opacity
