Learn Ashley’s simple, proven method for mixing bright OR muted colors based on the two sets of primaries. The course is only 90 minutes long, and in it you’ll discover:
- A NEW way to think of primary colors (Module 2)
- Ashley’s simple “Lean Toward” method for finally understanding warm vs. cool colors (Module 3)
- WHY you’ve been making “mud” (Module 4)
- How to keep colors BRIGHT and pure (Module 5)

You’ll know this method is for you if:
- You can’t wrap your head around “warm” and “cool” colors (especially blues!)
- You make lots of “mud” when you paint
- You’re a hesitant painter who never knows which colors to use
- You can follow tutorials, but painting on your own is difficult
- You’re intimidated by “color theory”
- You don’t know how to mix MORE of a color you already made
- You get frustrated when you mix greens and purples
- You need to go “back to basics” to get out of a creative rut
The Stop Making Mud™ method works for watercolors, gouache, acrylics, oils, and even pastels or colored pencils.
