Colour theory can inform our choice of colours

Colour theory is the supposed rules that we as artists can use to understand how to use and mix colours, not just to produce other colours - but also to produce certain moods and effects in our art.

From colour theory we can devise colour schemes, and consider how to use these in our art to enhance it, simplify it and make the scene our own.

The aims of this workshop are:

• Understand what 'Colour Theory' means

• Consider how colour theory can enhance our sketching, creating mood and feeling

• Understand that colour theory doesn't mean just following rigid rules

• Put all this into practice with a range of colour theory informed sketches
