Have you ever struggled to match a color from a photo or image with your acrylic paint? Or maybe you just can’t figure out how to make that particular shade of blue in your landscape.
Resulting in a painting with colors that looks pretty off, and don’t quite match up to the tone or mood of the scene you’re trying to capture. That can get real frustrating, real fast.

Which is why my class, Color Matching Basics, will show you my easy method for color matching a photo or scene using your acrylics, without needing a bajillion tubes of paint or years of painting experience. Just get the right colors every. single. Time.
In my Color Matching Basics class, you’ll get:
<ul><li>Hands-on, step-by-step demos walking you through my process for choosing and mixing colors</li>
<li>A list of supplies that won't break the bank</li>
<li>A renewed sense of confidence that you'll get paintings that look and feel right. </li>
</ul> All you have to do is get a few basic supplies and follow along. 
My Color Matching Basics class is a follow-up to my other class, the Magic of Color, so please be sure to take that class first before you proceed with this one. There are lots of concepts and terms we cover there that will make a lot more sense when taking this class.
