This Color Techniques Focus Session was fantastic. It’s one of my all-time favorite classes by Anna. It is so filled with technique and inspiration. I’m really eager to get a handle on the techniques, especially gradients, which I have avoided.

This class was excellent. I’ve always enjoyed Anna’s classes. Filled with techniques and great examples. I especially liked the Color Techniques class because I want to add color to some black and white photos and also to different layouts. Anna has a great description of using gradients in several different ways. The gradient map example also helped me understand its use much better. There are so many different ways to add color and I love the demonstrations on multiple different types of layouts used as examples.

If you want change the color of Anna’s products, or add color to black and white photos, this Color Techniques class is for you! I wanted to see Anna’s techniques that she uses and this is exactly what I got! Besides demonstrations, you get to download some of her products to practice with, a print out of important techniques – which is so useful – and the ability to join her FB group to join fellow artists which doesn’t just end with this class. You can’t ask for more! I am very pleased and will refer to it often.
