A MUST class for everyone who plays with color! Meghann 'shows and tells' the basics of color and how to apply the basics in easy to understand language with many examples to support her themes. She is an expert teacher: starting with this is what you are going to learn; followed by this is how you are going to learn it; lastly, this is how you know you have learned it! This class combined with her Principle Power is a dynamite combo for all us papercrafters, mixed media artists! Thanks much.
