The Magic of Colour (Using Gouache Paint)
Sunday 24th Oct • 11:00 am – 2:30 pm (3.5 Hours)
Step into the enchanting world of colour and discover how it can
transform your art, influence emotions and deepen your creative
expression. In this fascinating workshop, you will explore the hidden
language of colour and learn many things you may never have known about
the colours that surround us every day.
Together, we will uncover what colour truly is, how it interacts with
light and perception, and how artists, designers and spiritual
traditions have used colour throughout history to communicate meaning,
evoke feelings and create atmosphere. You will learn the principles of
colour harmony, explore the three colour wheels, and discover how to
create beautiful, vibrant and unexpected colour combinations in your
artwork.
We will also delve into the psychological, symbolic and magical
associations of colour, exploring how different colours can influence
mood, energy and personal expression. Whether you are interested in
art, design, journaling, meditation or spiritual practice, this
workshop will open new ways of understanding and working with colour.
Using gouache paint, participants will learn practical colour-mixing
techniques and gain an understanding of how gouache behaves differently
from watercolour, acrylic and other painting mediums. Through
demonstrations and hands-on exercises, you will develop confidence in
mixing colours, creating harmonious palettes and bringing greater
depth, balance and vitality to your paintings.
Perfect for beginners and experienced artists alike, this workshop
offers a unique blend of artistic knowledge, creative exploration and
colour magic, helping you see the world through a richer, more vibrant
lens.
✨
"Colour is more than something we see—it is something we feel,
experience and communicate with. Discover its magic and unlock a new
dimension in your creative journey.
