Painting Lessons
Virtual Art Academy is an online course that is equivalent to a three year degree course. You will see from the description of each section that it is very comprehensive. I have just started the course and find that the information I have read so far is every bit as comprehensive as the descriptions claim. If you want to improve your painting and want a course that is affordable (US$400) you should give this serious consideration.

Richard Robinson has a set of painting lessons as video demonstrations. Also information on the business side of being an artist. They are very good and well worth buying.

South African Artist Elga Rabe has a nice tutorial on the home page. There is a new section each month, but the oldest is at the bottom like an email thread, so it needs to be read from the bottom upwards.

Tools
Colour Scheme Designer has all the usual colour harmony types such as triad, tetrad, complementary, etc. Intended for use by web deisgners but usable by artists too. Very clever.
