Colour Basics 1: Value, Basic Colour Wheel & Tertiary Colours | April 23, 10-12pm

In this workshop we will take a look at the grey scale, your own personal colour wheel, and create complimentary colour strips to create a solid foundation for exploring colour.

Value Contrast & Simultaneous Contrast | April 23rd, 1-3pm

In this class, we will be creating several studies to acquire a better sense of reading the true value of a colour . We will create 4 simple studies : achromatic, monochromatic, polychromatic palette with 5 different values and one with all of the same value to eliminate toe variety of value. This is a great workshop in honing your visual acuity.

Goethe Colour Triangle to Create Colour Harmonies | May 28th, 10-12pm

Using a simple formula created by Goethe, learn to work with colours that might not normally harmonize through mixing and creating tertiary colours. This is a great workshop in getting familiar with your preferred palette. It is great to keep a palette minimal. This exercise is helpful for portraiture, still-life, abstract or landscape. Tertiary colours are the support colours that help liven up the brighter purer hues.

Tonal Depth Explorations | May 28th, 1-3pm
