Colour that moves, art that lives. Master digital colour to bring mood, energy, and life into every painting you create

This course dives into the essentials of colour for digital painting. You’ll explore palettes, light, and shading to create vibrant, expressive artworks. From indoor still life to outdoor scenes, you’ll experiment with brushes, blending, and textures that bring mood and depth to your pieces. Alongside mentors and peers, you’ll join a collaborative jam session and finish with a polished portfolio piece that showcases your ability to paint with confidence, emotion, and style.
