Do you struggle pulling fabric for your next project? You're not alone. Anyone can learn to build a palette that they like. In this class, you will learn how to train your eye to distinguish the subtleties of color.  We will discuss the 4 elements of color, classic color palettes, balance, harmony, and contrast.
