Learn a great deal by following the tuition in Sue Deighton's first DVD workshop. Aimed at the watercolour painter, this workshop is ideal for anyone who wishes to increase their knowledge & skill of colour mixing. But by the end of this workshop you won't only know the theory, but you will also know how to put colour mixing into practice in your paintings. Sue Deighton shows you how. Complete Workshop, including two DVDs & a workshop booklet. Introduction Knowing about colour means that your paintings will be clear & glowing. Dirty dull colour is a problem everyone faces. Selecting & mixing the appropriate colours will overcome the problem & save much wasted time & effort. Colour is the language of painting & this workshop starts with the ABC (the Primary Colours), adding more colours & mixing exercises as they are needed to paint different flowers & landscapes. The challenge for flower painters is to produce paintings that glow like the colours in nature; the use of single pigment secondary colours & compatible mixes will achieve beautiful & subtle colour options. The landscape painter has different challenges ? there are changes due to the weather, the time of day or year, the country or continent & not least the chosen subject. Watercolour pigments are not all transparent but watercolour paintings should have the glow & transparency of stained glass. In the video you will see how to use opaque & transparent colours to achieve the clean transparent look. In this workshop Sue has used twenty colours. As you work through the exercises you will confidently add them to your range of colours giving you a knowledgeable base from which to paint. Knowing which colours to put together is the secret, but it takes practice. It is worth the effort to expand your vocabulary of colour, as it will enable you to paint any challenge. Part 1 Learn the hardcore of colour mixing. Sue explains in detail about colour, demonstrating when & how to use primary & secondary to their best effect, & explaining how to mix colours so they are useful. Through painting various flowers, including a Pansy, Nasturtium, Iris, Sunflower & a Primula, Sue not only looks at the theory of mixing colour for flower painting, but shows how to put such theory into practice. Part 2 Moving on from the colours mixing in the first part, Sue looks at how to use those colours in three subjects, as well as how to create & use even more colours. Using three different landscapes & three methods of approaching the subject, including a garden scape, poppies in a landscape, & hay making scene, Sue teaches how to make the most from colour. By the end of this part of the workshop you will have an extended palette of 20 colours, but will understand that each painting you do will only need a handful of those colours.
