Your color work isn't a color problem.
It's a value problem. And this course fixes that.
Most artists spend years chasing the right color. The perfect mix. The exact hue. And most of them end up with flat, muddy paintings they can't figure out.
Here's the truth: your eye reads value first. Light and dark. Always. Color is just the accent.
Get the values right and you've got enormous flexibility with everything else — including color.
That's what this course is built on.

Where your colors actually sit on that scale

FROM THE LAB
Your video calmly prods you along from the construct to "capture the essence, knucklehead." That is the key for me. I now draw asking "what does it feel like" and make lines with expression not perfection. Eventually, the creative brain lights up and takes over because it likes repetition. The essence of the object is never lost in the process.
