Michael Weller – Colour First (Online)
Date recorded: Saturday, April 6 – 10:15AM PDT/1:15PM EDT/6:15PM UK Time
Michael Weller often starts with a color idea in his work. In this demo/paint-along of a small still life, Michael will share how he places patches of color first, before the lines, as a starting point for creating his bold, loose abstracted paintings.
Recordings will be posted within 24 hours after an event.
Michael Weller studied librarianship in Manchester and realised early on he didn’t want to be a librarian. Life-drawing cheered him up. Later he did a degree in Fine Art and studied portrait-painting at Lavender Hill Studios and drawing and painting with the New English Art Club. In 2015 he won the Le Clerc Fowle Medal for a group of outstanding paintings at the Royal Institute of Oil Painters’ annual exhibition, and the Winsor & Newton Award for a painting at the New English Art Club annual exhibition.
I just wanted to say that I found this painting by Nicolas De Stael on Wikiart. When I was painting it I had to compare my colors to my computer screen because when I printed the image of the painting, the color was really dull.

Thank you very much, I always wondered what Michael’s class would look like so this was very helpful.
