Led by Larisse Hall.
Colour mixing and paint application techniques are simplified in this hands-on one-day workshop.
An easy-to-follow break down of colour theory.
Actively mixing colours in class, students will learn various techniques to create different colour results using the same initial colours as a starting point.
Different paint techniques changing the resulting colour for each mix.
Students will learn to use warm and cool colours easily to achieve desired colour outcomes. Demystifying and simplifying colour results, for ease of future colour mixing.
Hands-on, you will gain an understanding of how using a different brush and / or colour mixing technique will change the resulting colour mixed. Be surprised by the diffference this can make!
Paint storage and brush care will be explained and practiced throughout.
Students will take home their colour mixing charts (created in class) as reference to simplify future colour mixing needs.
An international award-winning artist living in Nelson, New Zealand, Larisse Hall combines traditional techniques of painting and form with the science and colour of infused physical light to produce works of art that live and breathe, transforming over time. Her work acknowledging time as our most precious commodity.
Larisse's painting practice has developed significantly since 2008, when she left her position in the fashion industry to pursue her art practice full time. Never fully separating her two worlds; they are now intrinsically intertwined, each feeding and enriching the other.
Once asked to separate her artist self from her creative being, she realized that each inspires the other and together they make her whole.
Environmentally aware, her art and classes encourage sustainability. This, combined with her organic approach to her garden and life, supports the whakatauki:
'Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua'
'Care for the land, care for the people, so we may go forward
