Shining Feather Art Academy "So Simple Color Mixing Workbook" ©

By Sharon Teal-Coray

When I first started painting, I struggled with learning color theory. I read many books and most of them seemed to overwhelm me and in the end, I felt like I did not really have a good understanding of the principals they were trying to teach me. I realized that an artist is a “visual” person, we learn better with a “hands-on” approach rather than just reading about something. Therefore, I developed a study program that worked for me. Later as I became a teacher, I put my program into a workbook and held yearly 3-day Color workshops in local libraries and my studio.

This program is what I used to teach my students. It is a simple, basic way to understand and apply color theory by doing it and not just by reading about it. My workbook was designed for the person who has little or no knowledge of mixing colors! By no means, does it go into all the formulas for the paint or the very in-depth color wheel theories that are out there and that was done purposely. I found in the beginning with my first workbook that I overwhelmed the student with too much information. I included things that they really did not need to know at the beginning. Things that they could learn later once they got the basic knowledge they needed to get started.

They got discouraged very fast! So I re-worked the plan and came up with this book. It is the “basic” knowledge you need as an artist to mix colors and paint a beautiful painting.

I saw first hand how it actually taught my students what they needed to know in order to create a beautiful work of art.

I could talk myself blue in the face about colors, my students could read every book about color theory but they just did not grasp it until they started mixing the colors.

When they attended the workshop, did the actual mixing themselves and had that “AHAAAA” moment, they really could understand it and apply it.

Would you like to learn how to mix colors? I now offer you an easy, affordable way to do it with this home study guide. There is no need to spend hundreds of dollars traveling to attend expensive workshops when you can do it right in your own home at your own speed and at a fraction of the cost! This method allows you to move as fast as you want at your own leisure. In the end you have a wonderful color reference book filled with tons of color mixtures and knowledge of not only how to mix but you have actually trained you eye to "See" colors and all of their nuances.

Here are some of the things you will learn

How to make your own color wheel
Mix a variety of oranges, greens, and violets using lots of deferent colors.
You will learn what is a Primary, Secondary and Tertiary color.
You will learn how to make beautiful grey colors not just from black and white.
You will learn how to mix wonderful neutrals.
You will learn how to make your own black.
You will learn what a "complementary" color is and how to use it.
You will learn how to mix shades and tints
You will make your own value scale in black and white plus a color one using a very easy method. This will help you identify values.
You will learn how to make monochromatic and analogous color schemes.
You will learn how to tone down a color without using brown or black and how to lighten a color without using white!
You will learn all about warm and cool colors.
You will learn about opaque and transparent colors.

At the end you will have a wonderful color reference plus you will have color sheets where you can record something you have mixed and want to remember.

This book does not give you formulas and ratios, It lists the colors you are to mix, then you start mixing and you train your eye to "see" the colors as they come alive.

It is the most exciting way to learn and now you can save even more money with our paint kits!
