Color Theory & Judy Perez

On line classes are so cool. They really offer you the opportunity to learn at your rate & in your leisure. I love finding a class that is that is both affordable for me & pertains precisely to something that I want to learn more about. Judy Perez has started offering on-line classes. Hurray! The first one is on Color Theory .This is Lesson One .. done even though the class does not officially begin until September 1st. I love being able to get a head start on class work since you never know what curve balls life is going to throw at you! Believe it or not, I have never done a "multiplication" chart of color mixing before. You can see what I did on the left in the photo above. Mixing primaries. I think it is a good thing to DO an exercise rather than just look at it in a book, somehow it cements the information in your brain better. Judy recommends the book "Exploring Color" by Nita Leland and I have to say it really is an excellent choice. Most of the time I find that color theory books make me start to snooze - but this one is readable &,more to the point, understandable & enjoyable. You can find a used copy of this book for very little on Amazon - another affordable part of this class! Judy chose SetaColor Transparents to work with & happily I had most of them on hand. It's always a pleasure to order something from Dharma Trading however and that's where I got the balance of what I needed . I think this class will give me a much better understanding about color; why I like what I like & how to use my color choices more effectively. Bravo Judy !
I love the way this book is set up
I finally realized that my personal color choices actually have a name -
The 'Bright Earth Palette'
