Big, BOLD Colour
Join artist Martha Johnson in this virtual short course, Big, BOLD Colour, designed to radically expand your understanding and application of hue. Moving beyond basic mixing, this course focuses on the technical and intuitive process required to harness truly vibrant, expressive colour. We will explore the full spectrum of darks and lights, high contrast, and the power of fluorescent pigments, teaching you to strategically leverage these elements for maximum impact. Drawing inspiration from artists like Kim Dorland, Wanda Koop, and the Group of Seven, you will be exposed to diverse painterly approaches and subject matter. Through focused projects, you will refine your colour theory knowledge and bring together the ability to create visually stunning, expressive and emotionally resonant paintings.
- Develop sophisticated colour mixing skills, intentionally integrating vibrant, contrasting, and fluorescent hues.
- Analyze and intentionally utilize darks, lights, and high contrast to build dynamic compositions.
- Investigate the historical and emotional power of colour, applying it expressively within your subject matter.
- Refine your intuitive process for selecting and applying BOLD colour combinations for visual impact.
