About this event

Three hours exploring how to avoid accidental mud, and how to get the best out of your paints.

Colour can be surprisingly complicated, but it can also be fun when you have a bit of an idea what you’re doing.

Working with artist and tutor Rose Haddy, this session will explore how colours work and give you practical colour-mixing techniques that you can use in your own painting. You’ll look at how to mix a wide range of colours from a limited palette, how to adjust colour by changing its temperature, value and intensity, and how small changes in a mix can make a significant difference.

There’ll be demonstrations, exercises and plenty of time to experiment for yourself. You’ll build a better understanding of colour while actually mixing it, rather than just talking about it. Sometimes the best way to understand what a colour is doing is to make a bit of a mess and see what happens. You don’t need to be an experienced painter for this. Everyone occasionally produces a colour that looks absolutely nothing like the one in your head so there should be tips enough for all!
