"Colour fascinates us. We assume that colour is something that is fixed, but upon closer inspection our own perceptions account for most of the illusion of colour.

​

One of solutions to the complexity of colour is to work with a limited palette. The challenge therefore is to achieve as a greater range of colour expression with as small as possible choice of colours to mix from."

​

Leo will guide students through a number of exercises to help understand the "rules" mixing colour and perhaps more importantly how colour transitions in an artwork to create unity.

​

The final aim will be to execute an oil painting using the principles presented in the workshop.
