Susan Keeble workshop 25/2/14 – Local artist Susan Keeble visited MAC Art Club members at the Plume to run a workshop illustrating how to mix and use warm and cool colours, (essentially watercolour but other media was also used by some members). The demonstration commenced with Susan talking about the colour wheel (as shown in the photograph below) and by members painting their own warm/cool colours onto a pad in order to appreciate the differences. We then progressed to making two identical(ish) pictures, one developed using warm colours and the second with cool colours. Most of the members had never completed this sort of project, or necessarily considered how and when to best use warm / cool colours but the differences are evident in the photo below. Susan also reminded us that cool colours recede while warm colours advance and in landscapes cool blues and greens are useful when painting distant hills or trees. It was clear from the work on display that the members absorbed the lesson well and another very good demonstration evening was enjoyed by the members.
