You love color. You want to get good at it. This is the part everyone insists is a "feel" you either have or you don't. That's not true, and this course proves it.
You mix a color on your palette, put it down on the canvas, and have absolutely no idea what just happened. It feels slippery. Infuriating, even. Like everyone else got handed a secret you missed out on.
I'm here to tell you that's not true.
Once you gain an understanding of the contextual nature of color, a Josef Albers-style exploration of how color behaves relative to what's around it, paired with a real, specific understanding of your materials, something clicks. You stop guessing. You start mixing with intention. You become a color powerhouse in your own right.
Custom-designed lessons that build on each other, step by step, plus lecture-style bonus content to fill in the gaps. A foundation you can work from for the rest of your practice.
The hands-on, three-part core course with an accompanying PDF workbook. Jump in, watch the lesson, do the exercises, get better. Work through these exercises and it will make you materially better at mixing and using color.
Listen to it like a podcast while you paint, drive, or do the dishes. A full walkthrough of color psychology, linguistic relativism, and the history of how we've come to understand color. Builds the base that makes everything in Applied Color Theory click faster.
A jumpstart to get your painting practice moving right now, no overthinking required.
If you work in design, illustration, sculpture, or any kind of creative direction, understanding color at this level will change how you see, and make, everything.
Sari is the artist and educator behind Not Sorry Art School, an online painting curriculum built from the ground up around real, working-artist practice. She's the published author of Modern Still Life: From Fruit Bowls to Disco Balls, and has taught representational painting to thousands of students through her courses, workshops, painting retreats and community.
Applied Color Theory is her most requested course yet, built to answer the one question students ask her more than any other: how do I actually understand color, not just copy recipes?
"The course is truly amazing and informative. I have learned so much about color, saturation etc. in a way that never made sense before. I would recommend Not Sorry Art School a thousand times over."
"Purchasing Sari's course was the best decision I made because she demonstrates that yes, there are rules, but there is so much opportunity to play around and make your own artistic choices."
"Sari breaks information down in a thoughtful and organized way that makes it easy to understand. Whether you are completely new to painting or looking to refine your current skills, this has something for you."
Core course + PDF workbook, History & Language of Color, and the 7-Day Painting Boot Camp, all together.
No. The course is built so a complete beginner can follow along, but the concepts go deep enough to sharpen an experienced painter's eye too.
Whatever paint and palette you already work with. The course teaches you how to see and use color with your own materials, not a specific brand or kit.
Not at all. Anyone working in design, illustration, sculpture, or creative direction will get value from understanding color at this level.
Once you enroll, the course and both bonuses are yours to revisit at your own pace.
