Bases and Secrets of Color Theory | Online Painting Course
Tired of flat, plastic-looking digital art?
Does your digital painting lack that juicy, tactile feel? Many digital art courses teach you how to blend everything perfectly, leaving your work looking airbrushed and lifeless. It’s time to change that. Discover digital oil painting: the secret to bringing the expressive brushwork, thick impasto, and vibrant energy of traditional physical mediums straight to your iPad or tablet.
LET'S BREAK THE MYTHS
Stop Painting Mud
Painting doesn't have to be difficult if you have the right tools, formulas, and mindset! If you want to create stunning pieces with colorful palettes, first, we have to break down some myths and understand the basics, but with a fresh and fun perspective.
In this course, you'll find multiple exercises to learn traditional "old school" color theory step-by-step, but with a contemporary twist!
Let me guide you through this journey. Whether you are looking for oil painting for beginners or you are an experienced artist tired of flat colors, this course gives you the exact formulas you need.

Master Techniques
Inevitably, we will also paint a lot! Unlike standard painting courses, you will use this opportunity to master hands-on, practical techniques that will permanently refine your unique style.
Hello Painters, I'm Alai Ganuza
I am a full-time oil and digital painter and educator focused on enhancing color and brushwork to make expressive and lively artworks. I studied physics and graduated in Fine Arts (UPV-EHU), where I realized that Color Theory isn't taught as deeply as it used to be.
I love to study light behavior, and I believe Color Theory is a powerful tool that will help you step up your artworks. But we need the proper techniques to translate that into the medium of our choice, whether physical or digital. Let's embark on this colorful journey together!
