Understanding Colour is a thorough introduction to colour theory and its translation into painting practice. The use of colour as a basic element of visual art is a fundamental component of painting. The aim of this course is to prompt students to be mindful of the endless complexity and diversity available through an awareness of colour. The colour theory and applied methodology learned can be put to immediate use. Throughout the 12 week course, students assemble an annotated collection of small paintings and notes to use for future reference with an emphasis on developing an understanding of how colour theory can be applied and add interest to their work and the world around them. Participants can use any painting medium: acrylic, watercolour or gouache. Oil paint is also an option, but slow drying times make it harder to manage transporting several small works per class to and from home. Suitable for all levels.
