EXPRESSIVE COLOUR SATURDAY WORKSHOP SEPTEMBER

 EXPRESSIVE COLOUR WITH DI ALEXANDER

9 SEPTEMBER 2023

Saturday's Expressive Colour Workshop was all about selecting, mixing and using more attractive colours than simply copying from our reference image.

We covered mixing warm & cool colours for saturated or desaturated effects; placing colours in a painting.

Two ways to select alternative colours are:

(1) using a free photo editing app or

(2) take the colours from any painting that you love.

Di had a selection of other artists' cards to choose from.

Trying to paint in a different way is a huge challenge but everyone worked hard on their paintings and made it a successful day.

We even had air conditioning thanks to Jean the Calmore Community Centre Manager .

 

Special thanks to everyone who helped including Claire as Workshop Manager and Helen for making tea & coffee available.

The enthusiasm of our members is fantastic!!
