READ A STUDENT REVIEW:

"I really enjoyed this class all about colour and mood. Through this class I've created a resource for myself that I can refer to when I'm trying to convey mood with my drawing. I love Alexandra's teaching style. When you can watch her working in real time it demystifies the creative process, you see the mistakes and the thought process followed to rectify them, I'm learning a lot from her classes. There are so many useful resources to work through, setting you up to create a great project. I can recommend this class for anyone wanting to play with colour and build a creative process for themselves." Jenni C.

There are so many things you can achieve with color — you can guide the viewer’s eye, add perspective and depth, affect mood, create feelings, and of course, tell stories.

For a beginner, this might sound overwhelming. But don’t worry. In this class, we go step by step. I’ll help you simplify color theory, understand emotional impact, and explore possibilities you might not even know you have.

The class comes with interactive worksheets and resources that will guide you through the entire process, so you’re not just watching — you’re actively experimenting.

In this class you will learn how to:

• understand how color influences mood and emotional storytelling
• create intentional color palettes instead of randomly choosing colors
• control contrast and color harmony so your illustration feels balanced
• use color to guide the viewer’s eye
• create atmosphere and depth using light and color
• transform a single sketch into multiple emotional experiences

Who This Class Is For

• beginner illustrators who want to understand color better
• intermediate artists who feel stuck with their color choices
• Procreate users who want to add more emotion and storytelling to their work
• anyone who wants their illustrations to feel more intentional and expressive

Requirements:

You will need an iPad with Procreate.

Basic familiarity with Procreate will be helpful, but you don’t need to be an advanced artist to follow along.

By the end of this class, you’ll understand how to choose colors based on mood, how to build intentional palettes, and how to transform one single sketch into multiple emotional experiences.
