What Students are Saying...
"If you have not turned this learning curve in your design journey, Color Camp is the place to explore it. You will better understand how to use color in different ways no matter how experienced you may be." –Donna M.
"Xhico's teaching and exercises helped me to understand color relationships in a more meaningful way. I feel more confident in creating engaging, interesting, and dynamic palettes. Listening to him talk about color in a design has taught me to think critically, not just memorize theory. AND Xhico makes learning fun!"
–Trena B.
"I would say clear your calendar and go for it! This is an excellent, information-packed course that helped me to feel more confident as a designer.
And don't be tempted to skip out on using paints for the exercises, it's worth it!"'
–Rebecca G.
"I don't think you would regret this class. I had always felt I had a strong sense of color in my artwork that was largely by using my eye and my gut but this course gives you the knowledge and understanding that provides more confidence in moving your art forward. The lessons were comprehensive and I enjoyed the exercises."
