Life Drawing: Light & Colour

Gain a greater understanding of the use of colour and light to render the human form.

During this 10-week course, tutor Scott will show you how to develop your drawing skills and put colour theory into practice. You’ll explore colour mixing and how to apply it, not only for flesh
Tones but also as a broader means of expression, and colour as a tonal value.

Many people are rather reserved when it comes to painting with colour. This course will dispel any fears or worries of its use, giving you an understanding of colour relationships in practice.

Some of the subjects you will explore include the spectrum, chromatic greys, unsaturated colour, surface colour, the properties of colour, subtractive mixing, the colour wheel, complimentary colour, coloured neutrals, simultaneous contrast, two-colour harmony, optical mixing, advancing and receding colour and more.

Scott will talk participants through each exercise, showing examples of his own work to demonstrate and inspire, and offer advice and feedback via individual tuition and group discussions.

Suitable for everyone, from absolute beginners to those with experience seeking to develop their technique.
