The Power of Colour
1 DAY WORKSHOP
Monday 8th September 2025
RWA Drawing School Studio, RWA, Bristol BS8 1PX
Colour is an important feature of our world; it plays a big role in how we decorate our homes, how we create our gardens, how we dress, and the art that we like. Colour and composition are inextricably linked – the way we combine colours will affect the overall look and feel of something. Because of this, the process of bringing colours together can sometimes be daunting.
This workshop will present some of the important principles that affect the way that colour works in a composition. During the day we will explore the colour wheel, value, hue and saturation and how colours can work together in a piece of art. Practical exercises will allow you to play with colour principles and discover how they can be used in your own work. We will create simple compositions and look at ways to manipulate harmony and contrast using colour.
