In this course I guide you through colour in a calm and simple way.

We look at how colour sets a mood. We explore how a small set of colours can help you build a personal style.

And we try out many palettes so you can discover what feels right for you.

Materials

Use what you already have.

 

I work with several mediums in this course, but the focus is on colour, not technique.

 

A sketchbook or paper that takes different mediums is perfect.
