In this module, students learn the invaluable skill to assess colours and understand how they work when mixed together. They will also learn how to make their own carbon paper, wood stain, casein paint, watercolours and sealers. All of which are applied on board to create a colour wheel, based on one from a 300-year-old book and of which the colours have degraded over time. Finally, we show students how to distress and add extra patina to their colour wheel for it to look authentically old and faded like the original. See more about this colour wheel and the original one HERE.

Gently touched by time ~ I could not resist photographing this beautifully aged aqua barn door. Weathered by sun, rain, snow and extreme temperatures, it probably once was a brighter green, a colour which is very popular for doors, window frames and shutters in this area ~ Auvergne, France.
