- Can you imagine if you suddenly saw your world without color? Unthinkable. Color lives and breathes all around us. It is a part of our every waking moment. We exist in a world of color. As artists, translating what we see from the three-dimensional to the two-dimensional world can be the greatest challenge. I love using color and talking about how it can be used most effectively. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned professional, I wanna share what I've discovered with you to empower your work and enhance your own color intuition. We'll explore both digital and traditional media using examples of graphic design, painting, photography, and illustration. I'll uncover the basic elements of color, to the methods of mixing, layering, and charting color. We'll compare pigments to pixels and explore how light can be used dramatically with temperature, value, and contrast. So let's toss fear out the window and dive into color with eyes wide open. I can't wait to be your guide.
