Are you ready to become a colour mixing master?
Are you ready to conquer your colour qualms?

This six-hour intensive workshop will challenge you to adopt a no-fear atttitude towards colour… which will be backed up with a working colour knowledge that will open up your creative colour possibilities!

We’ll get into the basics of colour theory, colour mixing, and colour harmony, with eye-opening demonstrations and exercises along the way, and plenty of time for questions!  This hands-on workshop is great for beginning and intermediate level artists; for more experienced artists wanting a review; and for anyone simply wanting to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation for colour.

In addition to a comprehensive presentation and demonstrations, there will also be plenty of exercises to drive the points home.  Of course, there would be breaks for lunch and for refreshments along the way.

New!!! Mini-Lecture Series: Composition Concentration

Clear your Friday evenings this fall!  I’m so pleased to announce that I will be presenting a new mini-lecture series at Homer Watson House and Gallery!

This is an in-depth lecture mini-series (3 two-hour sessions) suitable for both beginners and intermediate level artists. The traditional elements and principles of design will be explored and re-evaluated from the perspective of the viewer. The eye-opening presentations will be augmented with interactive activities and simple exercises for the participants. As well, there will be plenty of question and answer time.

Unknown

With a design-based vocabulary, participants will test their critical thinking skills in a special critique exercise during the last session. Participants will evaluate paintings (paintings for critique will be provided), and determine the reasons for each painting’s strengths and weaknesses.

Self-guided exercises for independent study that focus on basic composition concepts will also be provided online and will be available for download in a PDF format.

Whether you’re at the early stages of considering concepts of composition, or perhaps could benefit from a review, come out and enjoy this informal discussion concentrating on composition.  Refreshments will be provided.

Colour Theory for Beginners  1737

Register Online // Supply List
Adult program with Amy Ferrari
Wednesday, 7:00 – 9:00 pm..$136/$151
April 5 – May 10, 6 weeks

This is a very intense 6-week series about learning the basics of colour mixing and colour usage. This class is not best for absolute beginners, but is great for those with at least a small amount of painting experience, and a lot of determination. Students should be 15 years old or older.

The many exercises are fun, enlightening, and quite challenging ways of learning through doing. At the heart of this class is coming to a deeper understanding of color relationships, both in colour theory and in colour usage. Not only will you enhance your ability to understand colour systems, navigate colour space, see colours, match colours, and mix colours; you will also enhance your ability to embolden your use of colour and stretch your abilities to be more accurate, more expressive, and more imaginative with your colour choices.

The entire first session will be dedicated to discussion of colour theory, and there will be no painting during the very first session, as it will be all discussion and demonstrations.  You will receive useful handouts, and you may want to take notes.  Part of the discussion will be the appropriate paints and other supplies to buy and there will be a short list of required acrylic paint colours.
