July 26th Colour Mixing with Brendan Lovelock

A little bit about Brendan... Arriving to art from a technical background, Brendan has had an intense interest in both the creativity and the science of art. With a PhD in physical chemistry, Brendan spent 18 years at Kodak, with 7 years in their research labs in both Australia and the US, looking at the chemistry of colour and its evolution into digital photography. These activities created a foundation for his work with coloured glasses and lampworking, and over the past 10 years for his passionate interest in watercolours.
Presentation Description: How does it happen that two or three wonderful, bright, and vibrant colours can come together and create a lifeless splodge of mud on your painting? This is a question that has plagued artists, both the experienced and beginners, probably since the first cave paintings. While our scientific understanding of colour has advanced enormously in the past 100 years its translation to our art practice has been limited and often confused. Painting, whether in oils, acrylics or watercolours, is underpinned by a set of common processes around how colours come together to form the breathtaking range of hues and values we see. This session will give a brief insight into describing these processes in ways that make sense to the non-scientist and can be of value in the way we utilise colour in our art
