Workshop with visiting American Artist | Chris Carter
Enhanced Colour for Artists and Printmakers
October 3 – 5 | 2017 | 10:30 am – 4:30 pm To register contact Anne Gullick (anne7gullick@hotmail.co.uk or 01792207620) Questions? contact chris@ChrisCarterArt.com cell (USA): 00 1 908-399-5186 Fee: £140 non-members, £130 ordinary members, £120 full/keyholder members
DESCRIPTION: We begin with a simplified explanation
of basic colour theory and how it can be helpful to determine the result
of applying layers of colour during the printmaking process. Next, we
determine colour tone (value) on our palettes and observe how the tone
and hue changes when pigments are mixed or layered. From that strong
foundation of understanding how pigments interact, we will mix beautiful
neutrals using a limited palette of six pigments to further understand
and predict the result of layered interactions. Finally, we explore how
choosing a colour by tone and temperature can strengthen both design and composition.
Tues | Saturated colour and effects of layered hues
Wed | Colour tone (value) and temperature
Thursday| Beautiful Neutrals and making choices that enhance and strengthen your work.
American artist, Chris Carter, travels extensively to explore the world
with pen and brush and to observe the nuances of colour as it changes
with the passage of time and season. Both at home and abroad, she draws
and paints daily in sketchbooks, studying the natural world and the
inventions of mankind; cities, roadways, machinery and objects of all
sorts. She brings the knowledge gleaned from her sketches and color
studies back into the studio to better express in large, a, her greatest
passion of all, movement through space and the patterns of energy.

American artist, Chris Carter comes highly recommended with this in-depth practical study of colour workshop. See full details on the current workshop page.
