Description:
This colour course demystifies the process of observing, mixing, and harnessing colour in oils and acrylics.
The session will cover the basics of colour, including:
– making your own colour wheel
– mixing rich and believable shadows
– using complimentary colours to enhance or neutralise each other
– how to mix basic skin tones and adapt them as needed
– what makes certain paints look brighter/ duller
– how to read your paint tube and buy the right materials
– It’s all relative: make your own colour optical illusion showing that colour is contextual.
