Can’t match the right color? 💔
Mixing more paint doesn’t help?
You spend 20 minutes mixing one color.
And somehow, it’s still not the shade you need.
Your skin tones look muddy, flat or unnatural.
No matter how many pigments you add.
You can see the exact color in your reference.
But recreating it on your palette feels impossible.
You keep buying more paints.
Thinking the perfect pigment will finally solve the problem.
It won’t.
Professional painters don’t rely on guesswork. They understand how to break down colors and recreate them with precision. And there’s a much simpler way to do it than you think.
Show me the secretImagine instead…
What if you could…
- Match virtually any color you seewithout endless guessing or trial and error.
- Recreate realistic skin tonescapturing every subtle shift in light, shadow and temperature.
- Know exactly which colors to mixinstead of wasting expensive paints trying to find the right shade.
- Simplify complex reference photosinto manageable color values you can understand and reproduce.
- Spend less time mixing and more time paintingwith confidence in every brushstroke.
- Finally understand color like a professionaleven if you’ve struggled with color theory for years.
This isn’t magic. It’s a method.
And I will teach you exactly how it works.
I want to master colorEvery painting breaks into values.
LightShadow
I’ll teach you to mix every one.
The light on the forehead, the tear, the shadow side of the face — each has a value, and each is a mix you can make.
An illustrative preview. The course shows the full process.
The skin in this painting:
eight values.
Eight values, mixed one by one.Blended — it’s skin again.
Mix each one. Blend the edges. That’s how flat paint turns back into a face — and how this one was painted.
You’ll learn to mix against the chip
until the edge disappears.
Every chip here comes straight from this painting. Put your mix right next to it. If you can still see where one ends and the other begins, it’s not the color yet.

I wish someone had
taught me this years ago…
It would have saved me countless hours of frustration, wasted paint, and paintings full of muddy, gray, lifeless colors. I used to think I needed better pigments, more expensive paints, or years of practice. Turns out, I was missing one simple method.

A few things you might be wondering
Your questions, answered.
I’m a complete beginner — will this work for me?
Yes. The method is designed to make color matching simple, even if you have never painted before. I’ll guide you from the basics to breaking down and recreating more complex colors.
I’ve painted for years. Will I learn something new?
Experienced painters can struggle with muddy colors, inaccurate values and endless mixing too. The course introduces a step-by-step approach to seeing and matching color that you can bring into your own practice.
Do I need expensive paints or lots of pigments?
No. You probably need fewer colors than you think. I’ll show you my personal palette, explain what each pigment does, and help you understand how to use the colors you already have.
Does this work for skin tones and portraits?
Yes. You’ll learn to identify subtle shifts in skin tones, shadows, highlights and temperature — and recreate them with more control.
Is this only for oil painters?
No. I demonstrate with oil paints, but the principles of hue, value and chroma also apply to acrylics, gouache and other painting mediums.
Is the method complicated?
It is surprisingly simple. I’ll show you how to break a complex reference into manageable color values and match them step by step.
