How Colour Works: An Interactive Workshop For Architects, Artists, Interior Architects,
Interior Designers and all those interested in achieving balanced designed colour solutions
Workshop Presenter: Cheryl Spina Dudley, IACC, ARIDO, IDC, Architectural Colourist, Interior Designer, President, IACC Canada Seminars
Description: Understanding how colour works requires that we dip our brush into it to reveal what it has to communicate to us. Starting with the primaries, we will work with you to discover the results generated when colours are mixed. Next we will demonstrate the differences between warm and cool versions of the same colour(s). Finally, we will look at how the colour of natural and man-made light influences how colour looks, both alone and in combination with other colours. What colour communicates is largely determined by how it is organized. Colour can be hard to pin down because it is influenced by, and influences, everything around it. This workshop will give you the knowledge and confidence to make colour selections relevant to the situation. In this workshop, you will learn to: • recognize the formulation of a colour(s) • adjust colour according to the situation • identify the colour of light • predict how the colour of light will influence the appearance of a colour(s) • prepare visually balanced and satisfying colour relationships.
