Session 1
Session 1
Colour Theory and Composition
Get started by mastering the basics of the color wheel and various composition styles. Learn how to blend harmonious color combinations and apply them in your own artwork.
You’ll explore how colours interact with one another, learn how to manipulate inks to achieve stunning effects, from soft gradients to dynamic bursts of colour. We'll discuss how different palettes can evoke various moods and feelings—whether you're aiming for a calm, serene piece or a bold, energetic artwork. You’ll learn the techniques to guide a viewer’s eye through your piece, using balance, focal points, and the effective placement of colours. By the end of the session, you’ll have created your first alcohol ink art work, applying your newfound knowledge of colour relationships and composition to design a piece that expresses a specific emotion or mood.

This week’s lesson is all about refining your control over the ink using brushes. Our goal is to create a mesmerizing artwork that plays with optical illusions and the interplay of light and colour. You’ll experiment with minimal colour palettes, learning how just a few hues can highlight and complement the forms within your piece.
