Sonny Williams Oil Painting Tuition

True Colour Mixing


Being in control of colour can make an enormous difference to your paintings. This being the case, it is worth granting colour mixing the importance it deserves. Very often however painters are in such a hurry to get the paint on the canvas that their “colour mixing” is reduced to hastily sloshing a few colours together with a brush or even attempting to mix the colours they want on the canvas itself. Or simply, due to lack of understanding, painters rely on luck or “trial and error” to achieve the colours they need or resort to buying endless amounts of tubes in the hope that that will equip them with the colours they will need.

The tuition on colour mixing builds from the foundations, towards the ability to mix precise colours for any painting using only a basic range of paints.
