If you want to experience freedom with color, you're in the right place!

Most artists are stuck using colors straight out of the tube with little to no mixing. 
Maybe you don't know much about color temperature or bias. You probably don’t know much about mixing color that works for you, instead of against you.
And you have most likely never heard a clear explanation of the science behind color.

You love to paint 
You’re proud of how far you’ve come with your art but know you could do more.
You love to use color
But just because your palette looks pretty, doesn’t mean your painting does!
You love to experiment
But more often than not, your colors turn into mud.
You know a bit about color theory
But you can’t seem to mix and make combinations that WOW!

There’s a whole world beyond the barrier of color mixing.

It might feel scary and complicated, but once you’ve pushed past it – you’ll open a door into color freedom you never knew you were missing.

 

Learn the science behind color so you can make (more) beautiful, original art

The color playbook is a five-part framework that’ll guide you to true artistic freedom. 

Color is beautiful when it’s done right – but can make you dizzy when it’s done wrong. The study of color is detailed and has a lot of moving parts, but the color playbook breaks it down into a simple, easy to understand guideline that’ll serve you for years to come.

Relearn traditional ideas about color so you can decide what rules to keep and which to throw away.
