Limited palettes with Charlie Pickard

Charlie Pickard

Increase the depth of your understanding of colour with this exciting new, 4-part course.

Students will be introduced to painting in colour through a series of limited palettes, each designed to isolate and teach them a lesson about the three fundamental dimensions of colour:

  • Monochrome palette - black and white
  • Temperature palette - orange, blue and white
  • Zorn palette - red, yellow, black and white
  • Full colour palette

By the end of the course, students will understand how to paint in full colour and design their own palette colour choices intelligently.

This course is suitable for all levels, and it's guaranteed to give you insights into oil painting and improve your skills.
