Dharma Art: Working with Colour

Margaret McIntyre has been a student of Andy Weber and Paul Smith since 2016 and is passionate about Dharma Art and encouraging participation in this most important traditional Tibetan Buddhist practice.  She has completed several traditional thangkas and facilitated a drawing class of Shakyamuni Buddha.

This class will explore various colouring techniques for participants to try out and consider to add colour to an existing Tibetan Dharma art image that they have drawn or to a pre prepared image.

In the most part the class will be using colouring pencils as a bridge towards the use of gouache and traditional Thangka painting techniques.

Components of the class will involve basic colour theory, outlining, blending and shading using pencil, ink and gouache paint.

Video resources will be used as appropriate for technique demonstrations according to the needs of the group.

Participants who wish to attend the class to work on their pre existing drawings or paintings are welcome to join and continue on their projects.

The class content will be varied and flexible according to the needs of the participants and the skill of the teacher.

If potential attendees who have not attended the recent drawing dharma art class and would like to join this class, are encouraged to contact us via spc@vajrayana.com.au to discuss their needs or to ask questions.
