Discover Your Personal Colour Palette
Sunday, July 26, 10am-5pm

Have you ever wondered about how to put colours together? Would you like to learn to create a dynamic colour scheme that is both pleasing and personal? Whether it's how to choose paint for your home or update your wardrobe, colour choices are by their very nature, subjective. Learn to establish a gratifying colour palette by working with paper swatches and responding to personal decisions based on what are often instant and intuitive likes. Once you have developed your palette, the instructor will guide you through the addition of neutrals and complementary colours to create a personal colour scheme that is both dynamic and visually pleasing.
