Join the Colourdat Club with Kim Fjordbotten for an immersive evening workshop each month where colour theory comes to life! These engaging sessions are designed for artists of all levels eager to enhance their understanding and application of colour in their work. Kim Fjordbotten, a renowned art coach with a passion for colour exploration, will guide you through the nuances of colour mixing, harmony to equip you with the skills to bring vibrancy and balance to your art.
“I believe there is no perfect red, blue, or yellow for artists. Theory sometimes bogs us down with too much information. I think there is a more profound way to experience the relationships between colours and the ColourJot system can be used to help artists find their personal colour story beyond the basics”. – Kim Fjordbotten
Colourdat is an easy process for beginners to create beautiful colour references and it can be a wonderful accomplishment to complete an art journal.
Go beyond colour theory and gain practical experience with colours. In this hands-on workshop, you will dive into practical exercises that allow you to experiment with 3-colour palettes and techniques to make 99 colours. Each class will focus on a new colour combination. Kim will demonstrate how to layout of colour in logically and mix colour to create reference book that will help you develop your own colour story. Key learning will include controlling intensity; analogous and complimentary mixing; and colour harmony. The tools, techniques and process encourage the use of unusual colour combination. The goal as that you feel inspired to push the boundaries and go beyond the traditional.
Don’t miss out on this chance to refine your skills and connect with fellow art enthusiasts in the Colourdat Club. Secure your spot today for a transformative experience that promises to elevate your artistic journey!
