Tiffanie Mang Professional Series: Color Anatomy

🌈 Join Tiffanie Mang for an in-depth exploration of color, its behaviors, and its relationships in painting. In this 4+ hour course, Tiffanie demonstrates that color doesn’t exist in isolation—its power comes from the way hues, values, saturation, and temperature interact. You’ll gain a deeper understanding of how to manipulate these components to achieve harmony, atmosphere, and emotional impact in your work.

In the first chapter, you’ll approach color mixing in digital tools like Photoshop. Tiffanie shows how digital mixing differs from traditional paints, highlighting both opportunities and challenges unique to digital media. You’ll learn to create nuanced colors while maintaining control over hue, value, and temperature.


Next, you’ll dive into a monochrome study, focusing on the essential role of neutral grays. Discover how these seemingly simple tones are crucial for establishing temperature and depth, and how they can unify an entire piece. Building on that, a complementary color study challenges you to balance opposing hues while maintaining a cohesive temperature and visual harmony.


In the final chapter, Tiffanie guides you through three master studies—landscape-focused exercises that let you apply everything you’ve learned. Here, you’ll refine your understanding of color temperature in real-world scenarios, learning how subtle shifts can convey depth, light, and atmosphere while maintaining harmony across an entire composition.


You’ll learn how to:

🎨 Refresh and deepen your understanding of hue, value, saturation, and relative temperature
🖌️ Use neutral grays strategically to control temperature and unify compositions
💻 Master digital and traditional mixing techniques for maximum flexibility
🌟 Apply color theory in monochrome and complementary studies to strengthen observational skills
📐 Execute full-scale master studies that reinforce color temperature, harmony, and expressive intent


Perfect for artists seeking to elevate both their digital and traditional painting practice, develop a sophisticated understanding of color relationships, and create landscape pieces with nuanced temperature, depth, and emotional resonance. 🕒 Runtime: 4+ hours
