Not happy with the result? Does the process only cause discomfort?
Then these books are created for you!
You've probably already read a lot of posts and watched a bunch of videos, but working with colors still doesn't come easy to you.
I know why.
Why is it so hard for you to work with colors, while others find it easy and pleasant?
Every color possesses key features that influence its application – such as value, saturation, temperature, among others.
These attributes determine whether your artwork look cohesive and stylish or not. They're essentially what you manipulate when finding or mixing your preferred color.
If you're unable to intuitively perceive and engage with these characteristics, it's necessary to individually study and practice with each one. The goal is to strike a balance between theory and practice. This approach will fine-tune your eyes to notice details that were once unrecognizable.
Unfortunately, we aren't all born with a natural talent to perceive and comprehend colors. But it can be fixed!

I hate colors
And they hate me. So it's just not my thing.
This is what I told myself almost 10 years ago.
I've always had trouble mixing and matching colors.
Artists told me: “Just mix this green one and that’s it! See?” I did not see.
Everyone repeated that it would come with practice. But no matter how hard I tried, it didn’t come. I was just torturing myself and my paints.
And I dropped everything and switched to monochrome artworks.
The question of why I couldn’t understand and love colors never left me. The answer: “it’s just not yours” didn’t suit me. I promised myself that if I found a solution, I would share it with other artists. No one should cry over a palette feeling helpless.
Over time, I realized what was wrong with me! It turned out that colors are a complex system, but if you move gradually, everything will work out. This is how I was able to fall in love with colors and working with them.
And so these two books were born.
