Workshop Structure

Learn essential colour mixing skills with practical creative exercises and projects supported by colour theory information. What students learn over the workshop will greatly help make colour mixing a pleasure and enable students to thoughtfully compose the colour elements in their drawings and paintings. 

The Colour wheel

With the help of the twin-primary colour wheel system students will gain a deeper understanding of colour bias and colour relationships giving them an immediate boost to confidently understanding how to mix the colours they want with the minimum of fuss.

Dynamic Colour

Colour visually hovers in space and with the help of the Munsell Colour system students will learn to mix and control colours effectively by understanding exactly how to manipulate the hue, tone and chroma of colour.

Tonal value of colour

Tonal value (light or dark) is one of the most misunderstood characteristics of colour.  Students learn how to control the use of light and dark colours when mixing paint.

Colour relationships

Different colour relationships need to be used to bring unity and harmony to artwork.  Students will be introduced to two main colour relationships – Analogous and Complimentary. 

By the end of the course…

Students will go home feeling confident in their colour mixing skills knowing how to manipulate colour to achieve the precise nuance of colour and tone they need for their drawings and paintings.

  • What level course is right for me?

    To help you answer the question,

    “What level course is right for me?”

    To help you decide what level course is most suited, you will see Teaching Levels explained within the Course Info tab.

    Students will always benefit from clear instructions, lots of one-to-one tuition, guidance and supportive encouragement on all of my courses.

    Level 0: Absolute-beginner 
    For absolute-beginners to start learning art for the first time. Teaching focuses on core skills with step-by-step instructions.

    Level 1: Beginner
    For beginners looking to establish, refresh and gain confidence in fundamental core techniques.

    Level 2: Improver
    For improvers who already have the basics and wish to develop and enhance their skills and techniques further.

    Level 3: Intermediate
    For those students with a growing, but limited, amount of art experience who feel confident in their art knowledge and skills yet recognise the need for further creative learning to take their art to the next level.

    Level 4: Experienced
    For those students with creative experience who feel confident in their abilities and techniques, who are looking to challenge themselves further, to create a coherent body of work, possibly to exhibit and sell. 

  • What course should I do next?

    To help you answer the question,

    “What course should I do next?”

    There are 2 approaches to deciding what to do next.

    1. Treat my courses as a Mix + Match Patchwork
      All my courses can be booked as single stand-alone courses on whichever topic takes your interest.
      Just book whichever course you want when it suits you.
    2. Choose one of the linked courses at the bottom of this page
      These courses are suggestions that will help you develop and progress your art in a more focused direction.

    Whichever approach you choose, remember to check the Teaching Levels to decide if the course is appropriate for you. Contact me if you’re not sure and I’ll be happy to help.

Student Quotes

“Attending this workshop has helped me to unlock my previous confusion about colour theory and the mixing of colours. It was really informative and has given me a basis on which to build going into future projects as I feel a lot more confident and knowledgeable.” My course highlight was “the structure of the course – being taken through the basics bit by bit which helps me to understand the subject.”
Maria M
“Having attended the course I realise how valuable it has been and my total ignorance about colours … now overcome. A very well structured course presented with sensitivity and obvious professional knowledge.” My course highlight was “the development of colours from a very basic palette.”
Robert K
“An excellent course, informal and very informative – an investment for your artwork, whatever level you are. I have a greater understanding of how to create and use colour in painting and art in general.” My course highlight was “working over 2 days created an opportunity to be more focused on the subject.”
