Painting Boldly with a Limited Palette
In this class, we’ll dive into the world of acrylic painting using a limited colour palette to create harmony, contrast, and impact in your work.
Inspired by a beautiful still life painting by Marie Kroyer (1884), I’ll guide you through key colour mixing techniques and show you how to make the most of just a few well-chosen hues. Together, we’ll explore how to simplify your palette while still creating a dynamic, expressive piece.
This session is perfect for anyone looking to experiment with colour and gain confidence with some basic acrylic painting techniques.
Whether you’re a complete beginner or just getting back into art making, you’re very welcome.
