I don’t have a favourite colour. Colours are not standalone entities: they rely on one another to spark off a response in the viewer. My use of colour is largely instinctive, but I do have a rough idea of a colour wheel inside my head, to which I refer on a regular basis when puttingContinue reading “Personal Approach to Colour Use”
