In this session tutor and artist Sheila Moylan looks at Colour Theory & Practice and explores how the great masters used colour in their work.

You will learn

• how to interpret the colour wheel
• identify and use primary, secondary and tertiary colours
• use colour to create atmospheres of warmth, sunlight, darkness and mystery…

To participate in the workshop you will need to set up a simple still life using fruit / vegetables/ flowers that allow you to focus on the colour of the objects. Email us an image of your still life so Sheila can assist you during the session.

Materials needed:

• H pencil (allows you to apply colour without smudging)
• colour pastels or pencils
• drawing paper

Book a place on the Colour Theory & Practice workshop to receive lots of advice and where to go for further development.
