Sunday 28th September

9:30am - 3:30pm

All Artist Grade Supplies Included. 

Suitable for ages 15+

Students will also receive a "Colour Theory Kit" with tools to use during the workshop & forever in your practice!

Walk away from this workshop with greater colour confidence and the ability to make informed colour decisions in your paintings and drawings!

This workshop brings together your personal colour experiences and theoretical knowledge to create a powerful tool for self-expression. You'll gain the ability to make deliberate artistic choices, carefully selecting colours that best convey your vision.

You will also explore how to mix colours with intention—moving beyond "close enough is good enough" or "I accidentally mixed this and don’t know how to recreate it.” Caitlin is a practicing artist and art educator who  believes that a lot of colour use  is intuitive, but it becomes even more accessible when supported by theory and practical knowledge of what works.

You will have the option to use either watercolour or acrylic for your colour mixing exercises. Please choose the medium you're most familiar with or have available at home, as this is not a painting techniques class.

What You’ll Learn in the Workshop:

• How to use a colour wheel to make informed colour choices in your artwork

• Working with a limited palette to enhance creativity and control

• How to make educated decisions when buying paint—and what to look for in an art store

• Using colour mixing charts to improve your understanding and familiarity with colour

• Techniques for mixing colours more accurately and confidently

• Applying principles of colour theory to edit colours and make decisions based on reference photos

• Developing the language needed to describe and mix colours effectively

• Tools and methods to continue improving your colour mixing and observation skills after the workshop

• Understanding how temperature in colours affects your painting and how to use it to your advantage

• Opportunities to practise and apply your new colour knowledge during the session
