Mixing Colors With Confidence
A practical online color mixing course for artists, crafters, and mixed media creators who want to stop guessing and learn how to mix the color they’re actually looking for.
Ever stare at a shelf full of paint… and still not have the color you need?
Maybe the color is almost right, but something feels off.
Maybe you're trying to match a decoupage paper, blend an edge, or create the color you can clearly see in your head.
So you grab another bottle. Add a little of this. A little of that. And hope.
But what if, instead of guessing, you could look at the color in front of you and understand what needs to change, and what to do next?
You don't need more paint. You need more confidence with the paint you already have.
YES! I WANT COLOR CONFIDENCEWhat if you didn't need the perfect bottle of paint?
You don't need to own every color on the shelf.
And you don't need to memorize complicated formulas.
You need to know how to look at the color in front of you, recognize what needs to change, and make an intentional adjustment.
That's what we're going to practice together.
- See the difference instead of just knowing something feels “off.”
- Understand whether a color needs to be lighter, darker, warmer, cooler, brighter, or quieter.
- Make small adjustments instead of throwing five colors into the mix and hoping.
- Trust your eye enough to experiment, evaluate, and try again.
Because color confidence isn't knowing the recipe for every color.
It's knowing what to do when the color you have isn't the color you need.
Teach Me How
The goal isn't to memorize color theory.
It's to know what you're looking at, and what to do next.

I've been teaching color. Here is what students who've learned color from me have experienced.
Hi, I’m Royce.
I believe art is teachable, and understanding color shouldn't require an art degree or a collection of complicated formulas.
As a mixed-media artist, educator, and lifelong experimenter, I've spent years helping creatives understand the why behind what they're doing so they can make more confident decisions on their own.
That's exactly how we'll approach color.
I'll teach you what to look for, give you a simple way to decide what to do next, and encourage you to experiment until you learn to trust your own eye.
Because my goal isn't for you to mix color like me.
It's for you to know that you can mix it yourself.
Your Questions, Answered
Do I need to already understand color theory to learn how to mix paint colors?
Is this course only for mixed-media artists?
“I’m terrible at mixing colors. What if I just make mud?”
“I already have lots of paint colors. What will this course teach me that another bottle won't?”
