Color is an extremely dense topic, one that many artists struggle with. In Volume 1 of my new 'Color Chat' series, we take a few hours to Simplify Color Theory!

This tutorial set features a 2-hour video lecture, including topics such as:

  • Three questions you should ask yourself while painting to frame your color choices in a believable, coherent way
  • Eliminate some key "problem areas" that many artists struggle with regarding picking color
  • Learn how to avoid "muddy colors", and actually also learn to embrace them for added impact on your art
  • Learn how to read the Color Wheel quickly and effectively
  • Check your values correctly, every time!
  • Learn some industry-standard tips and tricks to getting proper mood within your art
  • How the Masters handled color
  • Limited palette usage

....and much more!

This tutorial set features the two hour real-time video lecture, a helpful PDF resource sheet, PSD example files from the tutorials, and various reference tools and images that we discuss in-depth! 

This course is set up like a chat with your own private art mentor, so while there are a LOT of moving parts and topics discussed, the lecture format is set up to be watchable multiple times, gaining new information on each viewing!

If you're a newer digital artist, there's a LOT to unpack here, and you'll learn some industry-standard techniques to get a solid understanding of color usage, quickly! But if you're an intermediate or advanced level artist, this tutorial may shed some light on a few unique tweaks to the general Color Theory understanding you may have learned in your atelier or self-taught experience! There's something for everyone with this pack!

These lessons will continue on further installments of "Color Chat", as one tutorial simply wouldn't be enough!

"Simplifying Color Theory" is a great place for new artists, and even experienced/professional artists, to get a slightly different look at ways of using color to bring out the best in your artistic workflow!

The overall message was incredibly useful, I have learned a lot. However, the presentation was all over the place, it was difficult to follow.

This blew my mind. I was having a hard time transitioning from greyscale to color and this helped me understand color in relation to one another - through grey! It was easy to understand, I will definitely purchase part 2.

Absolutely blown away - color theory has always been very daunting to me, and the way Wes explains it made it a loss less scary and much easier to wrap my head around without being scattered between all these different traditional concepts. Thank you, Wes!

PLEASE DO A VOL.2!!!!! PLEASEE!! it's a very refreshing look..If this was an actual class and at the point where you introduced the black color mode..I'd joke, "So actually we can just color the way were use to but just go 50% on opacity and we'd all be happy" lol! anyway, thank you for sharing please do a volume 2!

Amazing course. It really helped me get a baseline understanding of color and how it interacts with each other. I think 50% grey is quickly going to be come my new favorite color for painting too now, haha!!

Such an eye-opening video, my mind was blown multiple times! I've watched many tutorials about colour theory but none of them was as didactic as this one. Besides, Wes shares concepts that I have never heard before and really made me think about colour differently. The video is very informative, concise and no matter if you're a beginner, intermediate or advanced artist, I bet you'll find great knowledge here. This is definitely a must-watch for anyone interested in improving their understanding of colour theory. Definitely looking forward to Vol. 2!
