Each class will focus on a new colour combination. Kim will demonstrate how to layout colour 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. 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 ColourDat system can be used to help artists find their personal colour story beyond the basics”. – Kim Fjordbotten
