How great would it be if you could pick up your paint brush and mix any colour you wanted, without ending up with a nondescript colour resembling mud! In this beginner’s course, learn how to mix vibrant, clean colours but also to make these colours into beautiful soft and grayed versions and darker tones. Delve into the magic and power of the use of colour to provoke powerful responses to your work. Start this colour journey and see your work quickly improve.
