VIDEO 54. Mastering Color: How Muddy and Clear Color Work Together

Many people talk about "avoiding mud" in their paintings. But mud, or what can also be referred to as muted or neutral color - can truly enhance what I call clear color…vibrant, higher key color. In this video I talk about how the two can work together to create a number of stunning effects in our paintings. I’d love to know how you feel about muddy color and how you use it in your work.
