Do you ever find that you feel anxious when it is time to pick a color palette for your projects? Do you procrastinate about picking a palette or tend to stay within a trusted range of colors? Would you like to feel more confident using color? The truth is there is only one way to learn about color, and that is to study it. The good news is, color is totally exciting and fascinating to study!
This class is designed to guide you through the basics of color theory in a fun and relaxing way. It is perfect for designers, illustrators, or any artist/creative that wants to expand or freshen up their color knowledge, and feel more confident using color. The lessons are simple enough for beginners, but also a practical and engaging refresher for the experienced artist. The goal of this class is to increase your knowledge and courage about color through exploration and study, but the real goal is to put more beautiful, sophisticated, and thoughtful color into the world. 
I believe that color matters, because I am aware of the effect it HAS had, and can have on the world. Sometimes color's influence lies subtly in our subconscious. Other times it hits us boldly between the eyes. It can break hearts or bring joy. As artists, it is our job to be aware of the power color holds. We get to choose how we share color with the world. How amazing is that?!
I’m so excited to share this journey with you, and I'm completely convinced that even if you don't already share my enthusiasm for color, with a little exploration you soon will.

Color Studies Overview
• We will begin by learning to think more deeply about color, as we take a moment to examine our own reactions to, and feelings about it.
• Then we will explore the color wheel and some basic principles of color theory.
• Next we will experiment with color harmonies, create some palettes, and explore the color lab.
• Finally we will combine the lessons together and create an expandable color journal to use for reference in future projects.
