Complete Mastery Over Your Painting Palette
In this self-paced course you will learn color theory (it's pretty simple), why colors work the way they do, and how your colors can play with the other colors on your palette (and stay best friends).
Who Should Take This Course
* If you are a beginner, this course will put you MILES ahead of others because at the end you will have an excellent understanding of how color works, how to match colors, and even more fundamental, where to start with colors!
* And if you are a working artist you also will get a tremendous value from taking this course because it will clear up misconceptions about color, teach you how colors work and therefore completely speed up your mixing process.
* If you have been looking for that 'perfect' primary red, primary blue, and primary yellow, this will absolutely demystify this dilemma.
* If you mixed that perfect color but can't remember how you did it, this class will teach you how to.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN:
* Whether you work in Oil, Acrylic, or Watercolor, you will learn to break colors down and then rebuild them so that you will understand each color on your palette.
* You will learn how well your colors will play with the other colors on your palette, and how to choose colors you might want to add or take away from your palette.
* You will be able to choose the paints you need to get the broadest range. In other words, you will learn about the colors you choose and then have total control over your palette.
