2 day course Friday 26th and Saturday 27th August 2016 10am to 4pm
About the course
This course is open to anyone who would like to learn about, or to improve their colour mixing skills. Using oil paints, we will look at how colours are created, and what effect they have on each other in a painting. Working from a simple still-life set up, we will mix a large variety of colours and look at the difference between them. Experience is not necessary, just a large palette to give plenty of space in which to mix paint.
