Colour Mixing Class is not a paint-along tutorial, rather a set of exercises that help you understand about colour theory and how you can mix the perfect colours for every occasion. Create your own colour reference charts so you will always remember exactly which paints to use for any occasion, discover my foolproof 4-step method for matching existing colours and learn how to use contrast to make whiter whites and brighter brights so you can create paintings with a wow factor

You want to paint confidently but

The Problem Is

The shadows in your paintings look dull, flat or just wrong
Colours always come out muddy on the canvas
You can never get a perfect match when returning to finish painting an area that has already dried

The Good News Is:

Once you understand what makes up colours, how they work together and how you can adjust them when necessary, you can create more vibrant, interesting and professional-looking works of art

What if you could:

Use shadows to make objects appear more believable
Paint whiter whites
Make light look like it is shining out from the canvas

Working through the exercises in this short course will not only provide you with a number of handy colour reference charts that you can keep for the future, it is also going to reinforce all the art techniques and principles contained in the lessons. My systematic process, along with clear and detailed instructions will help all the new information to become embedded in your brain so you will be able to draw on that knowledge immediately, whenever you need it.

Change can only happen if you take action

Loved all the information. I have been painting for years but have never had a theory course like this one. Thank you. I will , however need to go over the material again since it went by so fast and there was so much information.

I have never understood how to mix colors or how the color wheel works. This course has helped me to understand how it all works. It is a lot of information so I will have to go over the courses more than once. The way Jen explains things makes the lessons easy to understand. I enjoy all her courses and recommend her as an art teacher.

Course Creator Jenny Buchanan

I've been creating and selling paintings and mosaics for 25 years. Over that time I have sold well over 1000 artworks, won several painting awards, participated in gallery exhibitions and have two public works of art to my credit. I have taught painting classes in acrylics, watercolour and pastels. For the last ten years I have been selling my paintings and mosaics only online. While I have had quite a lot of success as an artist I don't believe that to be my greatest gift. Since launching my first online course in March 2020 I have come to realise that my true gift is being able to show other people how to paint. I also know that getting the best results for my students requires a full time commitment from me. That is why teaching online is all I do. Documenting my processes for the creation of painting lessons has helped me to exactly define my methods so that I can then pass on what I know in a clear and concise way. My experience as an online seller means I know how important it is to have great communication. Having taught in-person classes means that I understand how personal criticism of your work can feel which is why I only ever offer supportive, constructive (but honest) feedback. So I guess what I am trying to say is that I believe I have a unique set of skills that makes me ideally suited to teaching art online. The wonderful feedback I get from my students and followers each day seems to back up this claim. I have painted in a variety of styles which is one of the reasons I was approached by Artable Studio to teach and why I am able to help students paint better while maintaining their own unique style. Staying true to your personality is the only way to achieve real painting success.

Here is my promise to you

30 Day Money Back Guarantee

I am dedicated to ensuring your acrylic painting success but I understand that everyone learns differently and we may not be a good match.

Success is possible for everyone

Painting is an art form like any other, it requires dedication to the task in order to succeed. I firmly believe that beautiful artworks are possible for everyone and that learning basic skills along with regular practise are the keys to success. My goal is to help as many people as possible realise their artistic dreams which is why I will feel honoured if this colour-mixing course moves you further along the path to creative success.
