We had an excellent Progress Art workshop on colour with Olivia Irvine (painter Scotland) last weekend. I learned so much about colour it was fascinating. Thanks to Olivia for coming all the way from Edinburgh to give the workshop. Hopefully Olivia will be back in 2019 for a Fresco workshop which should be really interesting.
