A calmer way to mix

Three steps, less wasted paint

01

Pick the exact color

Sample a pixel from a portrait, landscape or master study—no guessing from the whole image.

02

Use your own palette

Choose only the acrylic tubes you already have. The recipe stays inside those limits.

03

Mix, test and adjust

Follow the parts-based recipe, make a small swatch, then use the correction tips to refine it.
