Stan Prokopenko
Stan and Marshall break down how to learn color by combining theory and practice without getting stuck in rules. They explain hue, value, and saturation, share stories about their own color frustrations, and outline exercises like using limited palettes, plein air painting, and master studies. You’ll learn why repetition, observation, and balancing intuition with knowledge are key to developing your color sense over time.

Thanks for the Draftsmen on Colour. What do you think about the book by Michael Wilcox: Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green (Or How to Mix The Colour You Really Want - Every Time) ?
Marshall Vandruff
It's got good teaching in it, and I first learned about the two-primary system from that book. My biggest criticism is the title, which I assume is meant to shock us into involvement. It probably would not have sold as well if it were more accurately titled: Blue and Yellow Make Green (but not always). Perhaps we'll apply this wisdom to our coming Perspective Lesson titles: Straight Lines Do Not Exist! Stop Looking and Just Draw! Stop Drawing and Just Look! Everything You Perceive is Wrong! Your Eyes Do Not See Green, Yellow, Blue, or anything else — It's All in Your Brain! Maybe... But yes, informative book.
