The Dim Paint Tutor

Alrighty my friends, the time is afoot. When I started this little side project I didn't expect instant engagement from so many people...thank you for that!

You may be asking, well why is this important Tom? The answer is simply, "Once you know the truth about color, you can lighten & darken without causing the desaturation or pasteling effects." Ultimately making using the color wash technique I shared more effective, as well as getting better looking highlight colors. It also has the added benefit of reducing your need for 75 different paint colors, & overall reducing hobby cost!

Did your primary school teacher lie to you about color?
