 Are you ready ...

to stop guessing with color -
and finally paint with confidence, clarity, and intention?

 

In just one focused week plus a month of support, you’ll learn how to trust your color decisions, express what you actually see and feel, and create work that finally reflects the artist you know you are - with guided lessons, live support, and a thoughtful community to practice alongside.

What many artists miss, is that color is the foundation of painting.

Plus, the principles that guide it are universal across mediums and brands (i.e. it's essentially the same for watercolor, gouache, oil, or acrylic).

Master color, master your art.

 

Do you feel like there’s a version of your art you haven’t fully accessed yet?

A version where color feels expressive instead of stressful. Intentional instead of intimidating.

Maybe you’ve tried to get there - but hesitation, fear of mistakes, or uncertainty around color keeps interrupting the process.

Still, something in you knows this isn’t the end of the road.

You’re not “bad at color” (and certainly not "bad at art"!!)
You’re just missing clarity.

If that resonates, I'm talking to YOU!

If you've been painting but don't see improvement, maybe these feel familiar ...

 

  • You hesitate every time you choose a color.
  • You mix a lot of mud
  • You’ve been painting for a while, but your colors still fall flat.
  • You own lots of paints… yet somehow feel limited.
  • You rely on tutorials because making your own color decisions feels risky.
  • You know color matters - but it feels confusing, academic, or overwhelming.
  • You’ve wondered if color is “the thing” holding you back - or, you're trying to find out what is holding you back.

  • You know color matters — but it feels confusing, academic, or overwhelming.
  • You’ve wondered if color is “the thing” holding you back.

Or, if you’ve ever thought:

 

“Why does this still feel hard?”

“Why do other artists seem so confident?”

“Why can’t I trust myself when I paint alone?”

“I tried intuitive color… and it didn’t work.”

“I follow the tutorials, but still no one is validating my art.” 

 

 You’re in the right place.

Trust me, I've been there ...

My whole life ...

I've been an on-and-off-again artist my whole life! When I was a kid, my mom got me into all the extracurricular art classes. I was always creating.

In high school, I applied to an art college, and got rejected. I took it as a sign - and took my life in a different direction. I stopped painting regularly and let that part of me almost die.

2018

After a serious bout of depression and years of not painting, I decided to pick my paintbrush back up - and felt immediate relief! I made the decision to commit to painting as a lifestyle and to try to "make something" of my art.

There was one problem though, my lack of color understanding held me back. Painting was slow and frustrating. My dream of being a "real" artist felt so far away ...

2020

I was pregnant during covid lockdown and decided it was the right time to buckle down and study color. I learned about my pigments, read books, made charts, and finally color - theory and mixing - started clicking!

Suddenly, I could paint faster and with more ease. I was no longer confused by my pigments, overwhelmed in the paint aisle, nor needing tutorials or color recipes!

Today

Soon after mastering color I won awards for my murals, my art was finally accepted into a gallery, and I started teaching artists online how to wield their pigments with confidence so they too can paint more, and paint better.

I realized that color wasn't just holding me back - but that it holds most artists back. I've been obsessing ever since about how to teach color in a way that finally makes sense. And, it's working.

Hi, I’m Juliene!

A watercolor artist and color educator.

For years, color was the part of painting that held me back too. I could follow tutorials, but when I painted on my own, I hesitated. Things felt harder than they should have.

Finally, after a literal lifetime of painting and years of struggling to sell my art, or create art that resonates with people, I hunkered down to learn color and that’s when everything changed.

I got my art into a gallery the very next year, and grew my IG to over 40k within 2 years helping folks understand and apply color.

I could paint faster and with more confidence. It was like the lights had finally been turned on.

I approach color with both creativity and structure, so it finally makes sense - and actually sticks.

I created Color Week for you because I would have struggled a lot less had it been available to me back then!

I've discovered that ...

The real problem isn’t talent or motivation - it’s a missing system

 

Most artists are taught what colors to use,
but never how color actually works - or how to make decisions on their own.

 So painting turns into…

  • Following countless tutorials

  • Buying courses you meant to take

  • "Collecting" and relying on pre-mixed tubes

  • Saving color recipes

  • Using your "artistic intuition", which doesn't seem to work

  • Mixing mud and staying confused ...

Color Week is designed to change that because you can’t just be told “use these colors” without being told how they work!

One of the problems is ...

Tutorials teach imitation - not understanding

They train your eye - but not your judgment.

Tutorials are great for inspiration, but terrible for decision-making.

They tell you:

  • What color to use
  • Where to put it
  • For that specific tutorial

But not:

  • Why it works
  • How to adapt it
  • How to make your own decisions after the tutorial

So the moment you’re on your own, you’re back to guessing.

Or maybe you're "collecting" pigments and relying on pre-mixed tubes instead of learning how to mix ...

And your paintings still don't quite look right.

That's because pre-mixed tubes:

 

  • Ruin the harmony of your painting, so the colors don't look like they belong together.
  • Restrict you to that color instead of free you to make your own.
  • Are sold as the solution to your color woes, when in fact they hold you back.

 

Color Week frees you from your reliance on pre-mixed tubes, tutorials, color recipes, and courses that sit on the shelf.

Whichever way ...

You’ve tried learning color before, and it didn’t stick.

 You may have even tried “painting intuitively” - trusting your instincts - only to end up frustrated, second-guessing, and stuck.

And maybe you’ve noticed this pattern:

You understand something while watching …
 but when you sit down to paint alone, the confidence disappears.

That’s not because you’re lazy.
 And it’s not because you “lack motivation" or talent ...

It’s because passive learning doesn’t create real skill.

 

Real skill is created by knowledge and active learning.

What is Color Week?

 Color Week is a one-of-a-kind, immersive 5-day live experience, followed by a month of live support, where you’ll learn how to think about color - not just copy it.

Color Week will walk you through through the steps to achieve Color Freedom - no matter where you're starting from!

 

This isn’t about memorizing color theory.
 It’s about understanding color well enough to use it confidently in your own work.

No matter the medium. No matter the subject.

 

Each day builds toward one goal:

👉 moving you from confusion → clarity → confidence.

No more disjointed bits and pieces of color learning - you need the full picture.

Imagine what changes when color finally makes sense

Instead of guessing,
you understand:

  • Why a color works
  • How to fix it when it doesn’t
  • How to mix intentionally -
    not desperately

Instead of
hesitation, you feel:

  • Confident starting a painting
  • Calm making color decisions
  • Excited to experiment
    without fear

Instead of relying on tutorials, you:

  • Trust yourself
  • Paint more freely
  • Feel like a real artist - not just someone following steps

This is what I call Color Freedom.

Color Freedom is the the ability to observe, plan, choose, mix, and adjust color with confidence - without guessing, copying recipes, or constantly second-guessing yourself.

 

Sounds good, doesn't it? 

This is what you'll learn during

Color Week.

When & how Color Week works

 Color Week Dates:

March 9–13, 2026
9:00–10:30 am MST

Plus one month of guided support to help everything stick.

   Format: 

Live sessions with replays, hosted inside a private pop-up community - including studio hours, feedback, accountability, and real-time support.

 Style: 

Clear teaching, hands-on application, and a supportive environment where things finally click!

(Details about timing, replays, pricing, and bonuses will be shared when doors open.)

During Color Week, you’ll learn how to:

 

  • Understand what’s actually causing muddy and dull colors
  • Use warm and cool bias to mix cleaner, stronger colors
  • Build palettes that feel cohesive instead of chaotic
  • Make confident color decisions without copying
  • Apply color theory directly to real paintings - from observing to planning to applying
  • Stop overthinking - and start trusting yourself

This is practical, painter-focused color education - not academic theory.

(This is a high-level overview - full breakdown coming soon)

Over five days, we’ll cover:

  • Foundations of color understanding
  • Warm and cool bias - and why it changes everything
  • Neutrals, grays, blacks, and browns and why it's important to mix your own
  • Applying color theory in real time
  • Building confidence through practice and intention
  • Learn how to observe color so you can translate that to your paints
  • Color psychology and how to make the viewer see and feel what you want them to!

This is followed by a month of live studio hours so you are supported while you're implementing what you've learned.

Each lesson builds on the last - so nothing feels random or overwhelming.

Why Color Week is different

 
Most color education:
  • Feels abstract
  • Stays on paper
  • Never fully connects to painting
 
Color Week is:
  • Applied - color theory tied directly to painting decisions
  • Structured - so concepts finally click
  • Supportive - you’re not figuring this out alone
  • Transformational - not just informational

You won’t just learn about color.

You’ll learn how to use it.

Plus, the time is NOW

Color Week is:

  • Live - you show up, not “someday”
  • Interactive - you’re not learning in a vacuum
  • Guided - you have real access to a real teacher
  • Time-bound - momentum is built in
 You don’t just consume information. You apply it while it’s fresh, with support.

This is how understanding turns into confidence.

Why this matters more than ever ...

We’re living in a world that moves fast, automates quickly, and rewards efficiency and disconnection over presence.

Painting asks something different of us.

It slows us down.
 It requires judgment, perception, and choice.
 It demands that we see and feel - not scroll.

Color, especially, is deeply human. It can’t be automated. It can’t be copied perfectly. It can’t be taught or chosen for you by AI. It has to be understood and practiced - by your human Self.

Color Week is an invitation to step out of the noise and reconnect with the kind of learning that actually changes how you create.

Color Week is a human, analog, creative counter-movement to a noisy, automated world.

Who Color Week is for:

Color Week is for you if:

  • You paint with pigment based mediums (beginner to intermediate)
  • You’re sick of mixing mud
  • You want to understand color instead of guessing
  • You’re ready to move beyond copying tutorials
  • You want to feel confident painting on your own
  • You've tried using your "artistic intuition", but it's not getting you to the next level
  • You understand that if you want your artistic skill to improve, you need a solid color foundation - and you're willing to practice.
You do not need:
  • A fine art background
  • Expensive supplies
  • Natural talent
  • Years of experience

Just curiosity and a willingness to learn.

What happens when you finally understand color:

MYTHS You Don’t Need to Believe About Color Anymore ...

MYTH #1

“Color mixing is specific to brands or mediums.”

Truth: Color theory mixing is NOT specific to brands and mediums. What you'll learn during Color Week are the same principles and color system I have used to create (and sell) acrylic paintings, watercolor paintings, and murals. After Color Week, you'll be able to apply color theory and mixing to ANY type of art you encounter.

MYTH #2

"Learning color theory will slow me down."

Truth: You paint slow right now because you don't understand your colors. Understanding applied color theory speeds you up.

MYTH #3

“I'm a beginner and I need to master color theory before this will help me”

Truth: Color Week will shave off YEARS on the color struggle bus. Most painters struggle for too long because they aren't taught how to use
their colors.

MYTH #4

“I’m just not intuitive with color”

Truth: Color principles are NOT based on intuition or preference. Successful artists don't follow their intuition, they are taught the systems behind successful colors - systems YOU can apply, too.

MYTH #5

“I’ve tried learning color before and it didn’t stick”

Truth: The problem wasn’t you - it was passive learning and not the full color system. Watching videos or following tutorials teaches imitation, not skill. Color Week is live, applied, and guided - so understanding actually sticks.

MYTH #6

“This won’t apply to my style”

Truth: What you'll learn in Color Week will support your style, or help you find your style if you haven't found it yet. That's because you'll learn how to make your own color decisions.

MYTH #7

“I should just paint more instead”

Truth: Painting more, or focusing on technique, without understanding colors just reinforces bad habits. Practice without clarity often leads to muddy colors and frustration.
