Welcome to Phlox WordPress Theme.
COLOR CONFIDENCE!
a live, online course
for Urban Sketching and beyond.
A course for those who want to make their sketches sing with color.
A course for those who know what a color wheel is,
but wonder how to apply any of this when sketching!
In this course, I’ll share solid foundations tied to strategies that took me years to figure out,
but that you’ll be able to apply right away!
→ Learn how to think about color to dial between harmony and excitement!
→ Take away concrete color strategies for your sketching!
→ Unlock color, take away the fear of screwing up and advance to the next level!
→ We’ll cover color strategies and apply this knowledge straight away.
→ You will have the ability to ask all your questions.
→ You will receive one-on-one feedback on your (optional) homework.
You will get access to a facebook group to share work and learn from other students.
→ The sessions will be recorded and shared with you ASAP,
no worries if you have to miss a day or two!
You can catch up at the homework stage.
My promise:
If you follow through,
WE WILL STEP UP YOUR COLOR CONFIDENCE.
