You know the colour you want.

You can see it clearly in your mind.

But then you start mixing.

And somehow, what ends up on your palette is not what you imagined.

It comes out too dull, too muddy, too flat.

So you add a little more of this.

Then a little more of that.

And before long, the colour is even further away from where you wanted it to be.

The excitement you felt when you sat down to paint begins to disappear.

There's too many paints. Too many possible combinations. Too many things you feel you should already know.

You start doubting yourself.

Maybe you avoid that colour altogether. Maybe you abandon the painting halfway through. Or perhaps the overwhelm begins before you even pick up your brush.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

In fact, colour mixing is one of the biggest frustrations artists face.

Because colour mixing is not something you are supposed to instinctively know.

It is a skill.

And once somebody explains how colour actually works, it becomes far less mysterious.

This Colour Mixing Course will help you understand what is happening on your palette, so you can make more deliberate colour choices instead of relying on trial and error.

Across seven short, easy-to-follow tutorials, I will show you how to mix a wide range of beautiful colours from a deliberately limited palette.

You will learn not only what to mix, but why it works, and what to do when the colour you create is not quite right.

This is not about memorising complicated colour theory. It is about giving you practical knowledge you can use every time you paint.

By the end of the course, you will be able to:

• Mix secondary and tertiary colours from three chosen primary colours
• Understand why some mixtures stay vibrant while others become dull or muddy
• Adjust a colour when it is too bright, too flat, too warm or too cool
• Create a wide range of tints, tones, shades and neutrals
• Recognise the difference between warm and cool colours
• Mix the most vibrant colours possible from the paints you have
• Choose colours that work beautifully together
• Create greater colour harmony across an entire painting

Have you ever looked at a finished painting and felt that something was not quite right?

The individual colours may be attractive.

The subject may work.

The composition may be fine.

And yet the painting feels slightly restless, disconnected or unresolved.

Often, the missing piece is colour harmony.

Colour harmony is what helps the different parts of a painting feel as though they belong together.

It can make even a simple painting feel thoughtful, balanced and alive.

It is not a special gift reserved for naturally talented artists.

It is something you can learn to recognise and create.

Once you understand it, you can begin choosing and mixing colours with much more intention.
