I’m Javier Origin. Let’s color together.
I’m a visual artist and educator. Here I bring together what I draw, what I try and what I learn through working with color. In my videos, you can join me as I choose a blend, adjust a shadow or revisit a detail. Videos and live sessions are mainly in Spanish.
We also learn by watching others color
The same illustration can look completely different in someone else’s hands. Discover community challenges and artwork, find ideas and share your own interpretation. Community conversations are mainly in Spanish.
