Workshops 1 & 2: September 15 – 16, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm
(Instructor: Lesley Finlayson)

Going beyond literal colour

By imposing controlled palettes onto your paint choices, you can begin to explore modifying the depth, mood and expression of your painting beyond what literal colour might offer. You can project a sense of calm, or energy, suggest a time of day, exaggerate the physical space and ultimately make the painting work as a whole.

Bring drawings or photographs that you would like to work from.
Materials will be provided
