waterCOLOUR workshop - Gain confidence with colour and pigment

waterCOLOUR workshop - Gain confidence with colour and pigment Last year they announced a dull white as Pantone colour of the year, and the creative world unanimously rejected it. Instead they voted for deep, rich phthalo greens, shades of violet, and anything else that pushed back against the muted sameness of white and beige aesthetics. Come embrace colour with me! This is a workshop where you can learn all about colour and how to make it sing for you. Whether you enjoy muted earthy tones or strong vibrant colours, understanding how they work together through pigment and light can have an incredible effect on everything you create. We will work with a range of good quality watercolours that are an excellent way to explore and gain confidence, and assist you in making colour choices going forward.

Oh! Oh! What have we done!?
Art
Seth Deacon Art Studio @ Woodstock Exchange · Cape Town, South Africa
I started this body of work in early 2024 with the question ‘what happens to the pieces of our selves, our dreams, our beliefs, that we jettison for the sake of expediency’? What if these crucial parts had their own sense of self? Who or what would they become? Would they, distilled from our most idealistic selves, become something more wondrous? Or would they eventually fall into the same old patterns out of fear and expediency? Can we ever reclaim these parts of ourselves? Join me on the 20th of December for a kind of speculative, anthropological imaginarium. ‘Oh! Oh! What have we done!?’ 20 December 2025 Seth Deacon Art Studio @woodstockexchange 66 Albert Road Cape Town Contact me if you want a sneaky preview of the installation and visual story I’m creating. art@sethdeacon.co.za or instagram @seth.deacon.art or whatsapp 0743363333
