How to be ‘Not-Bland’: Embracing colour in a grey world.

$65 - including all supplies, tools and materials

The aim of this workshop is to spend a fun, creative and relaxing 2 hours learning about colour, connecting with other likeminded people, sharing our ideas and creating an artwork or two. We will use items such as gouache, coloured pencils, pastels, markers and collage materials to create interesting effects.

During this session we will be using a variety of techniques and methods to achieve exciting and colourful compositions. There will be some colour theory taught, but mostly we will be learning to trust our intuition. The idea is that, when you leave, you will be inspired to create with colour.

No prior experience is needed. We are going to be playing with art materials, so we might get a little messy! Please wear clothing that you're not afraid to spill on. Neither the facilitator nor the venue is responsible for damaged clothing.

Learn how to embrace colour in a world that wants you to be grey.
