100 + Painting Tips From My Studio

PLUS Complete Guide to Buying and Mixing Paint

There is a ton of Bonus Information included.

Almost every page gives you  special Tips to make your painting easier.  PLUS there is a whole reference section on  paint. It includes suggestions for pigments that play well together, neutrals,  how to mix acrylics and more.

The Basic Supply List doesn't require anything expensive other than 5 -  11 paint colors.  It lists everything you'll need such as paper towels, water etc.  This way you can easily set up a painting table and start working right away.

6  Exercises and Printable Worksheets

PLUS Examples and Suggestions for Mixing Neutrals

The 5 Secret Component chapters cover Hue, Value, Saturation, Temperature and Harmony. There is also an added section on mixing harmonious Neutrals.

I have painted the Exercises myself so you can see an example from real life. Let me reassure you, there is no right and wrong way to do these exercises. And there are no right or wrong colors.

You'll find that each exercise invites you to explore your own favorite pigment colors. In fact you might even want to repeat the exercises again and again with all your paint colors. If you do, I suggest keeping them all in a binder for studio reference. This will be truly priceless information at the start of each artwork when  planning your color scheme.

About Me

Hi, my name is Shirley Williams. When I first started painting many years ago, art schools were not teaching anything about Color that was useful. Even today, much of what is taught is just basic Color Theory. 

The Color Wheel and some Basic Color Schemes are usually introduced. These are supposed to explain everything about using color to create harmonious palettes. But on their own, they aren't very helpful when physically mixing paint colors.

I look at a lot of art and often judge competitions. Rarely, do I see artists, even experienced painters, use their colors to full advantage.

After many years of my own frustration and intense study of color mixing,  I  came to realize some fundamental keys to creating beautiful colors. So I created this eBook self-study Course, Confident Color 101,  to simplify the process for you too.

Painting is tons of fun. But agonizing over your choice of colors, or wondering how to make them more appealing is not fun at all.  However, with the principles in this eBook along with some practice, you'll become much more confident and spontaneous with each creative project.

 Wishing you many hours of enjoyable painting !

What Some People Are Saying

Thanks so much for all this brilliant information !!! And for taking the time to share it in a way that is really clear and easy to learn. I especially like that I can work at my own pace and use the worksheets as an ongoing reference.

Deborah Gallagher 

I've been painting for many years, but have always struggled with making my colors work together in harmony. This ebook has been a godsend. I wish I had found your course years ago. There were so many "aha" moments.

Janet Clark

I'm thrilled to have found your course on colour. I recently retired and am just starting to paint as a hobby. All my colours were either too bright or too dull before. Now it all makes sense. Thank you .

Sharon Fortier

As a graphic designer, I thought I knew everything about color. It's one thing to understand color theory, but quite another to apply it.  I paint a little for fun and have always played it safe. Thanks to this course I'm much more daring with my colors.
