Cordell Garfield’s ‘Exploring Colour’ is an enjoyable one day workshop exploring colour theory and the application of colour in art. The workshop is designed to help both beginners and more experienced artists gain more confidence in understanding and using colour in their paintings. Through practical studies students will understand colour theory and its application, and how it can be used to improve their own work. The workshop will cover:
Using the colour wheel
The importance of value, harmony and saturation in colour application
Understanding how to mix colours accurately
Cordell will provide 1-1 tuition and painting exercises throughout the day, with supporting handouts as part of the workshop to increase your knowledge and understanding of using colour in art.
