David Royle

This lively three-day workshop is about practical colour mixing for artists and designers. From the beginning practical work will lead to introductory discussions about some basic principles of colour and colour-mixing. Explanations, demonstrations and slide-show examples will be presented at key moments, always keeping hands-on colour work as the main emphasis. The course will also examine the quickest route to mixing and matching colour in paint from a limited range of starting pigments. Colour related issues such as contrast and harmony will also be part of the practical work. The aim of the course is to develop direct and practical ways of linking working with colour and thinking about colour and colour-mixing. Some standard assumptions and approaches will be questioned and pragmatic, testable working methods will be developed. This course could be of use to both beginners and those who are more experienced.
