Colour exploration…less is more; working within the restraints of a limited colour palette let colour mix and mingle in an exploratory workshop creating subtle colour combinations in response to landscape.
Explore subtle mixes of colour and tonal variation; contrast, overlay, thicken and dilute. Experiment with gloss and matt acrylic mediums to alter texture and transparency, playing with the application of paint using specific brushes and tools. Use wet strength papers with cloth as a base to explore a restricted colour palette with painterly technique generating rich surfaces with the possibility of developing these with hand stitch.
