Color studies are an easy, no-pressure way to get comfortable with color in your mixed-media art. In this video, I’ll show you four simple ways to explore color using just four colors plus black and white. Along the way, I’ll walk you through how I mix, experiment, and test colors to see what works.

We’ll also put these studies to good use by making two different mini concertina art books—a great way to keep your color references handy. And if you love working with a gel plate, I’ve got a fun approach to color mixing that might surprise you.

Grab your supplies and join me in this mini-course!

⭐Best Viewing Experience for YOU ⭐


Every creative person has different needs. Here are the different ways to enjoy these videos.

Some enjoy hearing me explain my process. If that’s you, make sure your volume is on.

Others prefer to read my process through the closed-caption subtitles. If that’s you, turn on the CC at the bottom right of the video.

Some don’t want to hear my voice (that’s ok 😀). If that’s you, turn the volume off and watch.


NOTE: YouTube is now dubbing my video in several different languages - please let me know if you are seeing/hearing this and how it’s working for you.
