Saturday Art Workshop: Exploring Colour with Brian Smith

Delve into the world of colour in more depth with experienced artist-tutor Brian Smith in this comprehensive full-day workshop.

Under Brian’s expert guidance, you’ll explore everything from colour temperature, complimentary colours, colour harmony, colour values, through to colour-mixing logic, the psychology of colour, monochrome and much more. You’ll have the chance to investigate the application of each through lots of worked examples using different media.

The workshop is suitable for all experience levels, whether you’re a novice or an established artist wanting to experiment with colour in your work.
