LESSON 1 Getting Ready
Get this wrong and everything gets harder.
The right lights, space, and materials make color mixing click. Weâll show you the exact setup used in this course â plus why 8 colors are all you need.

LESSON 2 What Is Color?
Every color breaks down into just three things.
Hue. Value. Saturation. Thatâs it. Once you can see them, mixing stops being guesswork â youâll know exactly what to reach for and why.

 LESSON 3 Controlling Hue
Muddy colors arenât bad luck â theyâre a mistake you can fix.
Most muddy mixes come from one thing: complementary colors sneaking in. Learn how it happens â and how to use color bias to choose the right paints every time.

LESSON 4 Controlling Value
This is what makes color look real instead of flat.
Value is what creates depth in your painting. Learn how to lighten or darken any color with control â and why mixing your own darks beats using black from the tube.

LESSON 5 Controlling Saturation
Every color becomes more useful once you can turn it down.
Learn how to soften any color without losing control â so your mixes feel natural, not overpowering. One simple trick makes it easier than youâd expect.

LESSON 6 Mastering Adjustments
Knowing the theory is one thing. This is where it clicks.
Build a full color chart from a single tube of paint â exploring every shift in hue, value, and saturation. By the end, youâll know exactly how color behaves â and how to control it.

LESSON 7 The Mixing Process
Three steps. Any color. Every time.
Adjust the hue, set the value, dial the saturation â then repeat until itâs right. The steps are simple. Applying them with control is where it clicks. This lesson shows you exactly how to follow the process â and avoid the mistakes that throw most artists off.

LESSON 8 Demonstration
Watch real colors get matched from scratch â every decision explained out loud.
Most painting demos show you what to do. This one shows you why. Follow along as real colors are mixed step by step, with every choice explained in real time so nothing is left to guess.

LESSON 9 Your Turn
This is where it stops being a course and starts being a skill.
Mix a real color from start to finish â making the decisions yourself, with guidance at every step. By the end, you wonât just understand the process. Youâll have done it.
