What students are saying:

CHERYL, DESIGNER AND ILLUSTRATOR

"This course is amazing! I have been painting for years and have picked up SO MANY excellent tips. You have inspired me to keep creating and even step outside of my comfort zone. The workbook alone is worth it. I can refer to the lessons again and again. I can't wait to implement everything. After completing Color Mastery I feel like I have the tools to succeed."

DANA, PAINTER

"So glad I signed up! I've been painting for over 15 years now, and have never had such detailed background on how to mix to get clear vibrant colors. I tend to mix as I go and often, I waste a lot of mixed oil paint, and paint over parts of the painting where the color is just not working. I will definitely start making color palettes before I start painting. Thank you!"

Comment on Facebook about Color Mastery

JENNIFER, FINE ARTIST

"A beautifully presented course filled with information on how to best build color palettes from the simple to more complex. The course inspired me to be more planful in my color choices and gave me permission to take the time on the front end to get to a better color outcome."

LIZ, FINE ARTIST

"I learned how to improve my color choices for my paintings and make my work look so much better."

COURTNEY, WATERCOLOR ARTIST AND EDUCATOR

"Jen brings multiple areas of expertise to her coaching, and it has been wonderful working with her. She has an extensive background in art and in business, so I know that she truly understands where I am coming from as a creative entrepreneur.

I had some major pain points in my business that I had been trying to work through for months, and within minutes Jen had an accurate read on my situation and offered an overall vision for how to address them as well as actionable steps that I could take THAT DAY to move forward. She brought a fresh perspective to my art business and refreshing delivery that made me feel seen and understood. I cannot wait to work with her again."

SELENA, PHOTOGRAPHER

“Jen saw the artistic potential in me that I’ve never recognized before. After patiently going through hundreds of photos, she showed me how to create a color story with my portfolio that was most representative of my style and brand. What I love most about working with Jen though, is how she moved beyond the art portfolio and provided me inspirations and new directions in photography. I managed to present a more dynamic and artistic portfolio to my potential clients, and this couldn’t have been done without Jennifer’s help along the way.”

LAUREL, GLASS ARTIST

"At last! As a self-taught artist, this course filled a lot of holes for me. College level training."

EMELY, GRAPHIC DESIGNER

"I learned a lot I’m already putting it into practice and I feel a big difference in my understanding of color. 20 years ago I graduated as a Graphic Designer but I had not understood color in this very practical way. I worked with it intuitively but without really knowing why some things worked and others did not. I had no methodology. Now that I am dedicating myself to illustration having this knowledge makes me very happy. Thank you so much Jen!"

Meet your color mentor

Hi, I'm Jen

I am the owner of Jen Ray Studio where I mentor other artists and create original drawings and paintings in graphite, watercolor, gouache and acrylic.

For the last eight years I have mentored hundreds of artists to take their portfolios from blah to awww! One of the fastest and most effective tools I use with my students is color technique and psychology.

I have a degree in fine arts, and worked in the fashion industry in marketing and surface pattern design. Soon after I started and grew a multi-million dollar corporate branding company in the Silicon Valley and worked with large high tech and Fortune 500 firms such as Apple, Microsoft and Cisco where color was instrumental in keeping their brands consistent.

As an avid traveler, I am a color enthusiast! My love of architecture, interior design and decorative arts informs my practice and teaching.

"I recently took Jen's color mastery course, and it was fantastic! As someone who loves colors, I found the course to be a comprehensive overview of the various aspects of color, with engaging and easy-to-follow videos. Jen's organization, explanations, and video editing skills were impeccable, and the virtual tools offered as reference materials were very helpful.

I highly recommend Jen's color mastery course to anyone interested in leveling up or even solidifying their knowledge of color use. Thank you, Jen, for sharing your expertise and passion for colors with us. I cannot wait to see what you come up with next!"
