Colour
Six Pigments, One Landscape
A limited-palette course built around a hard constraint: two blues, two reds, two yellows, and nothing else for five lessons. Almost every colour problem people bring to the critique wall — chalky mixes, plastic greens, mud, shadows that look painted on rather than cast — turns out to be a palette problem rather than a skill problem. This track is the fix.
