Class description

Using a simple set of 8 gouache paints, participants will investigate primary, secondary and complementary colours.  The paints are water-based and easy to use.

Enjoy looking at the difference between tone and hue.  Mix and match colours; learn how to mix neutrals and greys.

Discover how colours affect each other and work together and when and how to use different brushes.

The students will use colour to create mood, light and space in their paintings, working from the screen to make simple colourful still lifes.  Suitable for all levels, focus is on enjoyment and the process of discovery!
