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.

I have been an artist my entire life. It started with that wondrous box of crayons, art school and today it is still challenging me to grow, discover and explore anything that fascinates my creative side. I have been an artist full time for the past 37 years and it has been a wonderful journey so far. I cannot wait to see what the muse throws my way next.
Some things you might not know about me.
I have a very curious nature. Work best by moonlight. Create because I have to. Am inspired by the details. Chase the muse everywhere. Excited by nature. Love a challenge.
