The Power of Colour
August 28, 2020
11.30 am to 3.00pm
A six week course to be held at Norden Farm Centre for the Arts Maidenhead, SL6 4PF
Working in watercolour and/or pastel we explore the impact of colour and a little about colour interactions. Starting with red we will build compositions with red as the main player, finding the properties of the red pigments you have in your paint box and working only with reds, black and white perhaps with hints of orange and purple. The following week we will explore red with its complementary colour green. By working in the same way with yellow and blue pigments you will gain a better understanding of the colours you have and how tiny accents of certain colours or small areas of very contrasting tones can punch way above their size in a composition.
Reference to include works by: Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso, Josef Albers, Bernard Cathelin, Patrick Heron
