This workshop will explore the unexpected versatility of a limited palette. You will examine the enormous range of colour achievable using only 3 - 4 hues plus white (the same palette that Hero uses in her own painting). This way of working frees the artist from lengthy mixing times and allows for greater spontaneity in mark making. It also provides more clarity in tone and temperature.

You will be working from a live portrait model
