New Palette

The upcoming workshop on the 10th to the 12th August explores colour as a sensation spread between pigment, texture and opacity.

The focus on colour in this multifaceted way comes out of the experience of being in the landscape amongst the texture, pattern and pigment of rock, lichen and foliage; and within the tonal mists and fragrances of the forest and the highland air.

The ancient Greek idea of colour collected a variety of qualities related to the senses and the experience of the world. Instead of colour as a spectrum they saw colour as embedded in things. For example tree-coloured or stone-coloured; these surfaces were referenced to touch, smell, solidity and saturation.

The ideas we’ll develop in this weekend workshop provide fuel for the artist’s practice in both an abstract and realist way as we freshen our responses to the very rich environment of Haneena Hill.
