WELCOME!! I'm so excited you are taking this course. Color is AMAZING. It's all around us and affects pretty much everything we do. It's even in our metaphors.....I feel blue, out of the blue, I'm so mad I'm seeing red, red tape, things are rosy, green with envy....you get the idea.

And while we all see color slightly differently from each other, there are physical laws of color that are pretty simple to understand.

As you go through each part of this course you will not only develop a much deeper understanding of color and what happens when you mix colors, you will also have a much more developed and nuanced relationship with color.

Whether you are a watercolor, oil, or acrylic painter this course will work. While I won't be talking about colored pencils or pastels, some of the information in this course will certainly help you in those other mediums.

If you are a beginner, this is a GREAT way to demystify color letting you concentrate on other parts of your creative process. And if you already are a working artist, this also will demystify and clear up a lot of questions. I've had some really excellent painters take this course and then come back later letting me know just how valuable these classes were.

Primarily I will be working in oil, but you are welcome to use whatever mediums you choose. You may also want to use several mediums to compare them with each other. But no matter if you use oil, watercolor, or acrylic, the same 'rules' will apply. I only ask that you actually take the time to do all the work. I PROMISE YOU it will be so interesting and helpful. And FUN!!

Let's get started!!
