BMI Artist-in-Residence Peter Tinkler is going to give a demonstration on the basic principles of colour theory, via the split-primary system of colour mixing. 

He is going to expand the range of primary colours from 3 to 6 and show how this is a much better way of learning the core principles of mixing colours.  Whilst also talk about the origins of some of our favourite pigments, and as you'll see, they have a rather 'colourful' past.

My work is traditional based, with an emphasis on technique and capturing mood, or a sense of drama. I value the basic principles of drawing and painting, like building up simple shapes, form, layering tone, and adding mass to achieve a look of weight and volume. Although I have worked as a freelance illustrator, and continue to do so occasionally, my main focus these days is tutoring and my more personal work.

I’m influenced by many avenues of art, including literature, film, and history, but if I was forced to give specific examples, I would say the imagery of Goya, the Vienna Secession, and the principles of the Pre-Raphaelites, hold particular meaning.
