Description
Do you want to learn how to duplicate your original artwork into a variety of brand new color schemes? (Without re-drawing anything!) With just a few clicks, you can turn one piece of artwork into an assortment of color palettes!
You’ll learn step-by-step how to transform your artwork into a flourishing collection of color variations using a few simple tools in Adobe Photoshop. (Score your free trial here.)
There is a strategy behind choosing color palettes that sell well. More color options = more sales opportunities! For every illustration I make, I create five to ten different color variations out of the original artwork. This means I’m exponentially increasing my opportunities for art sales.
Regardless of your artistic medium – watercolor, digital art, acrylics – color is an integral part of creating artwork that is a commercial success.
Color is one of the core components of creating vibrant, memorable art. By the end of this class, you’ll have the skills to turn your art portfolio into a flourishing collection of vibrant hues!
