BOLD COLOR
MASTERCLASS

Learning color will forever change how you think and paint.

Get on the waitlist and be the first to know when we reopen.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed just by looking at your color palette?

If there’s anything I’ve learned after working with nearly 5000 artists in my art classes…

It’s that we all go through the same struggles when it comes to mastering the art of color and paint.

Color mixing results in mud. And the canvas always turns into a hot mess.

And sadly, because it is a challenging skillset (when you don’t have the tools I’m about to show you), I see too many artists giving up because they think they “don't have the talent.”

But what you need to realize is...

Painting with Bold Abstract Color is
A Skillset That Anyone Can Learn!

Would you try an instrument and give up if it didn’t sound right on your first try?

Then why would it be any different when learning art?

And don’t tell me it’s because you can’t draw…

I’ll show you how drawing is a science, not an art, and anyone can draw a beautiful face!

Just like any other skill, drawing, painting, and color can be mastered by ANYONE who wants to try.

The MasterClass

is the beginning of your color journey. At the end of this class you'll be bold in color, brushstroke, and voice.

Charla's art is what brought me to the school and after seeing how much she puts into it gave me a whole new appreciation! So much I did not know about color theory is now making sense to me.

I could paint before Bold School but feel like I have been given the keys to originality!

I am ready to paint paint paint! I will wear out some brushes until I get how to use it all! The mentors are rockin' it! So Good!"

What's The Main Difference Between An Artist Who Can Paint Masterpieces

And the beginner whose work
look flat, cartoonish, and meaningless?

You might think it depends on:

→ How many years you’ve been painting

→ How much talent you have

→ Or if you've attended a prestigious art school

But what actually matters, is learning how to…

Troubleshoot Your Art - To 'Fix' it - So That It Feels balanced, refined and reflects your creative vision.

After working with over 4000 students in my online art classes, I can say that learning to troubleshoot is the key difference between the beginner and the seasoned artist.

Every artist makes mistakes, the “pros” just know how to fix them

Sadly, all too often, I see artists give up on their work once they make a mistake...

They get frustrated and defeated when they look at their finished work and think:

"I know something is wrong, but I don’t know how to fix it!

Trust me, we’ve all been there! What I’ve discovered after analyzing hundreds of paintings…

Is there are fundamental processes that every artist can learn if they want to create better art.

Can you tell what's different between these two pieces?

This is Reginie's before and after self portraits.
(Bold Color Bootcamp Graduate)

Can you tell why the “Before” looks so flat compared to her second portrait?

The biggest mistakes artists make is lack of expression and form.

And as you can see from her final portrait, once Reginie learned how to use bold color with a full range of values the portrait really came to life!

What about this before and after?

Check out this amazing before and after using the same color palette by Luzdy Rivera.
(Bold Color Bootcamp Graduate and Now Mentor)

Even though Luzdy was already experimenting with vibrant colors can you see the difference an understanding in depth, form and detail can make?

It Really is That Simple!

No matter where you are today, when you go through the Bold Color Masterclass you will be well on your way to a great understanding of how to express on canvas your own beautiful, unique vision.

Masterclass Community

→ Where you get expert feedback
→ So you aren't alone.

Artists spend a lot of time alone in the studio which makes it easy to get in your own head too much. Our community is designed as a supportive environment to not just meet artists like you but to learn from each other and receive valuable and constructive feedback from our trained coaches.

The Masterclass Community is exclusive to current Masterclass students.

Mentors will be actively involved in the Masterclass community for the first 6 weeks the class is open.

Graduates have the opportunity to move forward into BoldMasters+, where we offer advanced learning with mentors and our continually-growing Library of Classes.

The Masterclass has three main parts:
