This workshop is concerned not so much with the theory of colour but rather the practice of how to combine pigments to obtain the colours, tints, shades and tones you wish to apply to your painting. Even so, a good working knowledge and understanding of the colour wheel will make colour mixing a lot easier . It is hoped by the end of the workshop, you will have a grasp of the difference between primary, secondary and tertiary colours and an understanding of how to create tints, shades and  tones of colour.

Students will be given a short list of materials and equipment to bring along to the workshop.  Your tutor will have a small selection of acrylic paints and brushes available for use on the day.
