We were asked to bring a selection of materials including paint, brushes, paper and a full colour image. I found it really interesting as he talked about his freelance work that involves research and collecting objects, fabrics and mages that can all then feed into his colour ways. I also really liked his style of working with paint and producing all his colour predictions by hand instead of on the computes as it gives them a much more personal and real feeling. The exercise we had to do was to look at our image and pick out as many colours as we could, then paint these into a colour way that could be used to inspire our collections. i found this really helpful as I struggle to work with colour, so this made me explore different combinations and tones which I will start to apply to my own work in the future.

Colour Workshop
Today I signed up for one of the colour workshops with Hermes colour designer Leigh Cooke.
