    Course 10 of 10 of category  Workshop Week 2  

The final lecture in this second series brings together all the topics you have learned about color so far: values, hue/temperature, and saturation. The most basic color skill of all is "how do you match that color?". This is probably one of the hardest things for beginner and intermediate artists to master. No matter how hard they try, they just cannot get the right color.

There is definitely a method to matching the right color and you need to do things in the right order. If you do not follow this order, you can spend hours just trying to match one color. While you are doing that (if you are painting outside), the whole scene has changed! and you will have to stop and start a new painting. In this lecture I will teach you a very simple three step process for matching two colors.

Length of video: 4.5 minutes
