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.

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.
