great class

in this class you are shown different ways to use color. I liked the idea of using the color wheel. It is nice to know that I can use a lot of color or just a little bit to make beautiful projects.

Excellence in teaching

This class is wonderful. Very helpful in understanding the color wheel that I have “looked at” for years. I am starting to comprehend colors!
I sign up for any class you teach—always outstanding!
Thank you, Therese

I do like all of Therese's videos. This class was especially nice. I usually go with same colors but the cards in this video are so beautiful I will start experimenting.
Thanks for a great class
