Lisa Oestreicher, Architectural Paint Consultant. To be held at the Tempest Anderson Hall, Museum Gardens at 7.30pm

A vital and often contentious aspect of historic buildings is colour: what were the paint colours originally, have they changed, and when? Lisa is dedicated to understanding and analysing historic paint, and is one of very few specialists who can tease out from historic buildings minute chips of paint which she then analyses microscopically to reveal their true colours, in their historic sequence. Her work has informed the re-decoration of many historic buildings, including The Red House, the Palace of Westminster, and locally, the Georgian Theatre Royal in Richmond. www.historicpaint.com
