No matter what your subject or medium, you can improve your use of color with George Allen Durkee’s Color Crash Course (http://artistsnetwork.tv/p-246-color-crash-course-with-george-allen-durkee.aspx) video workshop from ArtistsNetwork.TV (http://www.ArtistsNetwork.TV). Follow along with this video as George demonstrates the value, hue and intensity of color; the temperature of color; how light affects color; and how color can be used to manipulate the mood of your paintings. George shows you how to mix colors and helps you understand the principles of color, using finished paintings and mini demonstrations throughout to help you create powerful paintings.

In this preview George does a quick color study to demonstrate how the value, hue and intensity of color come together to create the foundation for a strong finished painting.

This one's a lot of fun and yes, you can follow along with any color medium you have at hand. I fooled around with oil pastels but could have done this just using Crayola crayons. Great color video. George took some difficult concepts and made them a lot simpler to understand with the way he demonstrated them - things I wish someone had explained to me when I was a kid going nuts banging my head on the wall trying to make watercolors do what color was supposed to do by theory!
