Cultivated Color

A view of the class sketchbook. Yes, we fill the whole thing together!


The idea behind this course is to discover the beauty of mixing color and all the magic it holds.

With a limited palette of 4 colors, the 3 primaries and a neutral, together we create over 300 different color variations.

As an artist this will be life changing. It opens up many more possibilities for your art that you ever thought possible. And all of it is done with just 4 colors which is amazing.



Cultivate - to refine, improve, encourage further



Cultivated Color is an 8 week watercolor course that:
- defines terms such as hue, value, shade, tint and neutral
- explores each color individually giving you time to understand it
- plays so you can mix and match easily within a color family
- studies value and its importance
- offers techniques like layering, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, resist and so much more
- practices brush control
- shows you how to get the best application with watercolor


Each module offers a color study that:

- showcases one specific color (yellow, red, etc.)
- steps out the hue into a 10 color value scale
- experiments with mixing primary and secondary colors
- creates shade values with a neutral, complementary and mother color
- plays with a technique such as layering, wet-on-wet, resist, etc.
- practices color swatching within an image or magazine pieces
