Stop Guessing at Color. Start Understanding It.

Have you ever mixed a beautiful color—only to discover you couldn’t make it again?

Do your mixtures sometimes become muddy or dull? Do you find yourself wondering which colors to choose, how to adjust a mixture, or what might happen if you added gouache?

This 8-week live online course is designed to help you move beyond simply following color recipes and begin understanding how color works.

Through demonstrations, guided exercises, experimentation, and nature-inspired projects, you’ll learn to see, mix, adjust, and create color with greater confidence.

And we’ll add gouache to the mix, giving you even more possibilities for working with transparency, opacity, layering, highlights, and corrections.

Strong color foundations give you the confidence to experiment—and experimentation sparks creativity!

I can’t begin to tell you how much you will learn in Foundation Drawing with Mindy Lighthipe, but I can tell you it is well worth your time and money! Mindy is an excellent teacher with a fun sense of humor. I can honestly say that I am SO much better of an artist than I was before I took this class, and I would recommend it to both beginners and to anyone who already thinks they can draw but wants to improve their skills. Your art won’t be the same after you take this class…. it will be better!!! I learned so much from Mindy that I didn’t hesitate to immediately sign up for her next class Drawing the Beauty of Plants!
