Let's go beyond the color wheel. Learn how to practically apply color theory to your art & stop being afraid of color!
Are you an artist that’s usually satisfied with your artwork UNTIL it’s time to add color? I remember that feeling!
In this course, I’ll teach you how to practically apply color theory concepts to your digital art, so you can stop being afraid of color and start using it to elevate your art to a whole new level!
Color can be a scary aspect of any visual art, since poor use of color can easily make or break a great drawing, painting, logo, or sketch. Early in my own studies, I was repeatedly disappointed by the color theory tutorials I found online. Sure, I would learn some terminology--warm, cool, primary, secondary, complementary, etc--but this is just terminology! How do I actually use these concepts in my art?!
If you’ve ever found yourself asking that question, this is the course for you!
In addition to the hours of real-time, step-by-step video lessons, you’ll also get:
Line drawings for practice, so you can focus on color.
Layered PSD files used in the lessons.
Examples from my pro work as a digital colorist at Image Comics & Top Cow.
Although Photoshop is used throughout this course, the color theory concepts taught here can be applied with most of your favorite digital art applications such as Photoshop, Clip Studio, Paintstorm, Procreate, Corel Painter, Sketchbook Pro, Krita, ArtRage, etc.
So if you're ready to learn how to make color work FORÂ you, instead of against you, I'll see you inside. :)
Learn to add color to your art confidently!
Learn how to apply color theory principles to your art instead of just learning terms on a color wheel.

Hi! I have been working professionally as a comic book colorist since 2011 and teaching digital coloring online on YouTube since 2013. I learned about coloring the hard way early on, and I do my best to make sure that no one else has to take the same route I did! I'm still always learning new things and try to...
Intuitive and easily understood.
Good course to understand the link between hue, saturation and values. Hoped to get a little bit deeper into color schemes to begin with, which was only a little side kick, though
Absolutely magnificent course. within the first hour i instantly understood how lighting and color works in the digital landscape. I will be rewatching this many times. Now I finally understand how all those colorful digital paintings are created. He is very good at simplifying a complicated subject and I love that
love it
pretty sweet
Kurt Michael Russell presents useful concepts and theories about color that serve as an excellent introduction to coloring for beginners. However, I felt that the course could have been more structured, with clearer exercises focused on color application. Additionally, while the "Special Color Techniques" section is very informative, it seems more suitable for advanced learners rather than beginners.
Your lessons on color shifting have been most helpful
Great material on colour and looking forward to seeing more material.
Very informative and good content. Understanding much better.

It is more about photoshop than color theory. I don't feel it is a theoretical, it is more about practical approach. I do not find here a "guide" rather than a show of author works. They are good and seems that the author knows what is he doing, but the lessons aren't very structured and are lacking a real theory.
