Understanding color is essential to creating work that captivates the eye and evokes certain moods or emotions. Through a series of fun exercises, you will learn to understand tints, shades and tones, the color wheel, complimentary colors, warm and cool colors, and color schemes. You will also produce useful charts and swatches that you can consult for future reference. Whether you are just starting out or have some experience, this class will help you masterfully mix color, no matter the medium of your work.
