In this calm and relaxed class, Marie will guide you through a step by step process to create a colour wheel from just three primary colours. You will understand how colours can be mixed to create other colours, and the infinite possibilities that can emerge from this process. We will also look at colour theory, the work of key artists who use colour in their work, and in the longer class (3 hours), we will practice designs and colour combinations to express mood and taste.

Marie's upbringing was dominated by colour. With a father who was a colour designer…

Things to remember

All materials and equipment will be provided as part of the class. You may want to bring an A3 sized folder or stiff bag to carry your artwork away after the class. Bring an apron if you want to protect your clothes.

An informative friendly, knowledgeable tutor. We learnt about pencil drawing and painting in colour with acrylic paints. We were in Clapham library and it was a relaxing and peaceful environment and atmosphere to learn about different styles of drawing and painting.

It was a real treat exploring colour with Marie and other people in the class. She created a no pressure environment in which I managed to create a very nice finally piece of work which I didn’t know I was able to archive. She’s very friendly and helpful and would love to work with her again.

This course was recommended to me by a friend. I wasn’t sure I would be good enough, arty enough. Marie made me feel at ease immediately. I just got into it, painting a colour wheel (that’s harder than you think!), drawing with colours I wouldn’t have chosen usually. I made a hash of it, but I learnt a lot and really enjoyed myself. Great vibe. Thanks Marie!
