The Colour Mastery Workshop Series (Aug 23, Aug 30 2025)

  • Does this sound familiar? You have a drawer full of expensive oil paints, but you find yourself reaching for the same few tubes. You mix a colour that looks perfect on your palette, but when you apply it to your painting, it just looks... wrong. Dull. Lifeless. Muddy.

    It is one of the most common frustrations for artists, and it can make you doubt your own abilities. But the problem isn't you—it's that you haven't been given the right tools to build an intimate relationship with your unique palette.

    This transformative two-part workshop series is designed to bridge that gap. We will unravel the mysteries of colour theory in a practical, hands-on way, enabling you to finally paint with the freedom and confidence you've been searching for.

    You can join for a single day to build your foundation, or embark on the full journey for a truly complete transformation.

    Part 1: The Foundation of Colour Mixing (Unlock Your Palette)

    This is the day you stop guessing. If you feel overwhelmed by colour theory or frustrated by mixing mud, this foundational session will bring you clarity and control. We will focus on what truly matters, giving you practical skills you can use immediately.

    You will learn how to:

    • Create Any Colour: Imagine the freedom of knowing you can mix almost any colour you see with just three primary tubes. We will show you how.

    • Stop Making Mud: Finally understand why colours become dull. You'll learn the secrets to distinguishing cool and warm hues, when to use browns, and how to tone down colours with intention, not by accident.

    • Paint with Purpose: Discover how to use simple colour studies to make your paintings more harmonious and impactful before you even begin.

    • Date: Saturday, 23rd August, 2025

    • Time: 9:30am - 2:00pm

    • Tuition: $250

    Part 2: The Art of the Colour Chart (Master Your Palette)

    This is the day you build your personal colour bible. If you're tired of wasting expensive paint on colours that don't work, this full-day intensive will give you a beautiful, practical reference tool that lasts a lifetime.

    You will learn how to:

    • Predict Your Results: By creating your own professional charts, you will see exactly how your paints behave—their true personality, their tinting strength, and how they interact. No more surprises.

    • Find Perfect Harmony: Learn to use your new charts to choose colours that sing together, creating beautiful and cohesive paintings every single time.

    • This workshop includes your own $75 professional Colour Chart Template Pack to use and take home, featuring 10 pre-designed charts on Canson canvas paper.

    • Date: Saturday, 30th August, 2025

    • Time: 9:30am - 4:00pm

    • Tuition: $375
