How to see color: A painting exercise for artists

Want to improve your color mixing and learn how to see subtle hues in neutral subjects? In this video, I walk you through a powerful still life painting exercise using just a white object on a white table — a simple setup that reveals the complex, colorful world of grays. I’ll show you how I analyze cool vs. warm tones, identify hidden blues, greens, purples, and pinks, and mix beautiful muted colors from just a basic palette. This exercise is perfect for beginner painters or anyone wanting to train their eye to see like an artist.
