A painting is composed using colour. This is an intensive hands-on workshop plays with colour relationships to give you a better understanding of the decisions you make when painting.

​

Using a variety of historical models and practical exercises, you will gain insight into colour choices and confidence in swinging between intuition and deliberation when it comes to composition. 

​

From da Vinci to Frankenthaler, scientific groupings to emotional responses, this workshop will help open up the fluid and immeasurable world of colour for you as a painter.
