Colour for Painters

Course info

About the course

Expand your knowledge of how to use colour in painting as you delve into colour theory and practical exercises, including still life, portraiture and landscape. The range of painting experiences will ground theory in practice, including palette set up, colour in tone, saturation, optical colour effects, scumbling and glazing to layer colour, and expressive uses of colour relationships. Working from exercises, observation and found imagery, you will develop your personal colour language to achieve new depth and subtlety. Oil or acrylic. Prerequisite: one session of painting.
