Special Effects with Color Class

[Renata]

In case you have not noticed it, a new class (under Classroom) started today. It is Special Effects with Color: Special Effects with Color by Christine Barnes. It does not show up under Artistsabove Lauren Vlcek's class (probably a glitch for now) but it you click on Classes, you will see it right at the top of the screen. It looks quite interesting.

Thanks for the heads up Renata. It does look interesting.

I already viewed the introduction. Looks like an excellent opportunity to learn oodles!

Just in time to choose colors for the new BOM!!!

Also, I just found this cool web site! Play with color combos here: http://colorschemedesigner.com/

Christine is a friend of mine and belongs to my guild. She had a color class for us but for some reason I was not able to attend. She also had a class for my appliqué group and I also missed that one too.

Thanks, Margo..had this bookmarked once but had lost track of it ! Very useful !!

Thanks, Margo, for another great place to go and play with color. I watched Christine Barnes' introduction this morning and it seems to go well hand-in-hand with Joen Wolfrom's class on Craftsy that I am taking. They cover some of the same ground but it will be nice to see two potentially different perspectives on the same topic. Margarita, isn't your guild lucky to have Christine Barnes as a fellow guild member!

Well I guess there's no way you can miss it now Margarita!

I love Christine Barnes' work. When I went to an Empty Spools Seminar at Asilomar a few years back, she was teaching a color class. On the last day, we all got to walk around and look at other classrooms. Her work and her students' work was amazing. I am looking forward to her lessons. (Oh, I have both her books too!)

That's really nice to know, Kathy! I'm looking forward to her class too!

Karen and I do not have to go out to take the class and can do it on my own time. Which is great.

I'm so excited that some of you are interested in my color lessons! Understanding and using basic concepts will take you into new territory, I guarantee it, and you will have so much FUN working with color in your quilts. I like to say that it's more about practice than talent, and to see your work evolve is so rewarding. Looking forward to hearing from everyone and seeing what you do!

Margarita, it was such a treat to see your pic and read your message. For those of you who don't know, Margarita is a quilter extraordinaire, and much loved in our guild. You are special!

This is great - I am now reading/studying a book on colour and quilts. However, I think the basic principles of colour apply to every art field.

Margarita is well known and well loved by the TQS community too.
