From Adelson’s famous checker shadow illusion to the Cornsweet illusion, you’ll see why trusting your eyes might be the worst thing a painter can do. We’ll look at real scientific examples and learn how painters solve the problem of “lying color” by understanding the truth of light. 🎨 I’m Uri Shavit, a professional artist and teacher with over 20 years of experience helping artists bring their work to life with light, color, and emotion.

Usually the problem isn't the hue. It's that the color was judged in the wrong order. In this lesson I walk through the two methods I use to match almost any color in oil paint: - The tonal approach — a structured method where you lock the value first and solve the hue second, so your mixes hold up against the subject instead of fighting it. - The intuitive approach — a faster, more instinctive way to chase a color once your eye is trained, and how to know when it's the right tool to reach for. The two work together: one builds the discipline, the other builds the speed. Master both and color matching stops being guesswork and becomes a decision you can repeat. If color is where your paintings tend to slip, start with the free skin-tone cheat sheet above — it's the same logic applied to the hardest subject of all: skin. #colormatching #oilpainting #colortheory #howtomatchcolors
