Mix it up! Exploring colour in oils

Ready to bring more life and energy to your paintings? Join artist Catherine Fitz-Gerald for a relaxed, hands-on workshop all about mixing colour with oil paints.

Whether you’re just starting out, or already confident with a brush, this small, friendly class will help you see colour in new and exciting ways.

We’ll dive into the basics of colour theory—warm and cool tones, complementary contrasts, and how to create glowing, nuanced hues that enliven your art.

Expect plenty of practical demos, personal guidance, and good conversation along the way. It’s a chance to loosen up, play with paint, and discover how a few well-chosen colours can express mood, light, and emotion.

If you’ve ever wondered how to avoid muddying colours when blending two pigments, this is the class for you.

All materials are supplied, though you’re welcome to bring your own favourites. Come and enjoy a fun, creative day in a supportive studio environment— leave with fresh confidence, and the building blocks to create your own rich palette.

A simple lunch, tea, coffee and biscuits are provided.

Maximum class size 12. Cost $120
