Paintings are invariably more than they seem. This short course explains how colours work together in practice and develops some key approaches, such as demystifying colour and mixing for experienced artists and beginners alike. Instruction and coaching will include sound colour theory and a major part will be its application in practical art. For beginners, it will establish touchstone practices and accelerate artistic development. More experienced artists will come away with the confidence to develop new palettes, techniques and break rules with aplomb. Colour takes paintings to giddy heights or sends them to the depths with little in between. The consummate impressionist Claude Monet remarked: “Colour is my day-long obsession, joy and torment.”

Introductory Notes
Breadth and depth
Throughout this course, I’ll cover the basics and connect with drawing and painting processes. There is also a depth that I could go to, however I’ll generally provide references selected from the great range of information available.
Materials
Choice of materials is yours to explore. I will use a range during the course and the principles are of course independent of materials. I’ve included some painting materials information for those who might be interested in my methods. They are general in nature and suitable, whether I’m tackling landscapes, cityscapes or portraits!
