Color is what excites me about painting, and color harmony is what makes a painting beautiful. However, color is a complex topic and takes years to master. The Color course units are the second part of that journey (the Observation course units are the first part).

Here are some of the things you will learn in these courses:

  • Grays: how to use them to make your color stand out
  • Color notans: exploring color strategies faster
  • Complementary, analogous, triadic, and tonal color schemes and how to diagnose color harmony problems
  • The Munsell color wheel: how to get more accurate complements
  • Pigment biases: how to use biases to get purer colors
  • Limited palettes: how to get color harmonies quickly
  • Color dragging: the best way to mix your paint to avoid muddy color

What does it cost?

This program is equivalent to a two week course of study with a professional artist that would cost around $3,000 including travel and lodging.

Buy the complete 6-course Color Program for $90.00. Only $15.00 per course unit

"Thank you thank you for your course. I have self-studied with the best of them and your course fills in all the gaps including answering questions on some topics on form hue changes that i never got a chance to ask Charles Sovek prior to his passing away. I have read more books (many on your respected list) than anyone. I did not follow my dream to get my BFA and MFA.....but, now (20 years later) I have a second chance because of a supportive husband and, in large part, your course. I love all the concise yet, completeness. It gives you the big picture of each course topic and then goes into the details and all the possible options. My brain gets it! Even arenas which are review - I enjoy because I always get a nugget or two of helpful insights and tips (which is pretty much all I get these days from 3-day workshops with world-respected artist teachers. Also, my brain loves the organized nature of how the material is presented.".........Kathy, September 1, 2008
