Apelles Palette Essentials

Go From Confusion to Confident Color Mixing In Just 14 Days

 Learn to mix any color you want with intention, using the four-color Apelles Palette.

You’re not alone. Most painters:

• Get stuck while mixing.
• Struggle to mix believable colors.
• End up with mud instead of what they want.
• Are not sure how to get what they want from their palette. 

Why This Happens

Most color mixing advice complicates things with countless colors, confusing charts, and theories that are hard to apply in real life painting sessions. Instead of making painting easier, it makes your palette unpredictable.

The truth? More colors = more problems.

When your palette gets out of control:

• Your portraits end up muddy.
• Hours of mixing gets buried under a few small mistakes.
• You lose confidence and begin to second guess your work (making the problem even worse).
• Worst of all, painting stops being fun and instead becomes frustrating.

If these problems feel familiar, you’re not the problem. Your system is. 

Most painters never step back from their palette and create an intentional strategy to get what they want out of it. But that's exactly what we're going to teach you. 

Most painters struggle with muddy colors and chaos when trying to match what they see.
