Create your own library of color palettes to apply to your illustrations using mixed techniques
What colors paint your creative world? When it comes to expressing ourselves, color is a powerful, versatile tool and an exciting challenge to master. Illustrator, cartoonist, and tattoo artist Jazmín Varela specializes in expressing ideas through imagery and color experimentation.
In this course, she teaches you to develop a color library inspired by your own life. The first step to refining your artistic eye is to work on your awareness of what certain colors evoke and then use it to intensify, balance, or break the rules of traditional color theory.

Jazmin es una genia. Explica claro y sencillo. Te ayuda a entender muy bien cómo se comportan los colores y sobre todo, te motiva a pintar. Soy su Fan desde siempre, tengo sus libros y otros productos que ella ilustró. Poder hacer un curso con ella es espectacular.

PlusMe ha gustado mucho el curso de Jamin. aprender y ver como ha creando la biblioteca de color con distintos materiales de forma ordenada y muy didáctica y luego los ejercicios de menos a más me fue despertando mi propia creatividad. Antes,por no tener un orden y no tener un método demoraba mucho mas en poder expresar lo que quería
