Going with Option 2?
These short videos are pulled from a different color-mixing training I teach. I’ve included them here because they’re the quickest way to help you understand color bias and choose workable primaries from the paints you already own.
Because these are pulled from a different training, don't be confused when I say "welcome back" etc. :)
Watching these will put you ahead of the curve! We’ll confirm and refine your color choices together during Color Week.
This video will teach you color bias, which will help you then select your own primaries in the next video.
This video will help you select your primaries that you'll use during Color Week.
Notes on Choosing Your Colors
Although all colors technically lean warm or cool (with a tiny few exceptions, like cobalt blue), not every pigment is ideal for learning how colors interact. For Color Week, we’re focusing on colors that clearly demonstrate bias and behave predictably when mixed.
Some pigments - while beautiful - are not a great fit for this week:
-
Very dark colors (like Prussian blue)
-
Very earthy colors (like yellow ochre or Venetian red)
-
Natural, soil-based pigments
These colors are wonderful to explore later - and you absolutely will - but for now, they make learning color mixing harder than it needs to be.
