This course is a unique introduction to colour, tailored to meet the needs of art and design practitioners, teachers, and suitable for anyone interested in colour. Unlike other entirely practical short courses, this program consists primarily of copiously illustrated lectures, complemented with descriptions and demonstrations of practical exercises that progress from basic exercises illustrating colour theory, to painting studies. The lectures are delivered in real time and include discussions with David and other students. The exercises are completed out of course hours and reviewed in class.
