Even though the entire four-lesson course is available to you from the start, I highly encourage you to take a full week to watch each lesson recording and do the corresponding homework. Please don't rush. Take your time.
In these four long lessons presented in many short segments I will teach you everything I learned while getting my art degree about color perception, the color wheel, primary, secondary and tertiary colors, color combos and how they enhance the image an its message, how to use color to convey mood, shades, tints and tones, contrast, saturation, value, and much more.
Basic coloring skills are required for this course, but advanced and expert level colorists will greatly benefit from all this information as well. You will be learning university-grade information, so bring your notebooks.
Please share your homework as you complete it and don't hesitate to ask questions.
