Mastering the Dynamics of Colour
Painting Workshop
28 July 2024, 9.30 am to 4.30 pm
Have you ever wondered why certain colour combinations seem to vibrate or ‘sing’ together? Or why others just jarr, or look lifeless and dull?
This day-long workshop will unveil the mysteries of colour relationships. You will learn how to identify, mix and use different hues, colours, tints and shades with greater confidence. Corinne will guide you to arrange your palette effectively, to embrace colour schemes and understand the role of intensity.
Sunday 28 July 2024
At Corinne’s Workshop in the lower Blue Mountains, Jamison St, Blaxland, NSW 2774
9.30 am - 4.30 pm
What’s included?
Art materials are supplied, however you can bring your own favourite brushes or colours if you wish.
Lunch, drinks and snacks are provided.
You will also learn how to:
• Use coloured grounds to activate your image
• Mix a FULL range of colours using a basic palette
• Use colour mixing to make subtle changes in mood and energy in a painting
• Understand the symbolism and universal meanings of colour
• Model form and perspective with colour
• Select a colour scheme to achieve the ‘keynote of feeling’ you want in a painting
We will work in my studio in Blaxland and I will share my expertise and passion with you. Whether you are starting out or an experienced painter, you will definitely develop your ability to work successfully with colour. You will also connect with like-minded and interesting people.
