A Colorful Tale: Storytelling with Color Theory Do you ever struggle with picking a palette or would you like to learn more about how color works? Calling all illustrators! Color provides impact, mood, and is a way of focusing attention. Learn how to use color to emphasize storytelling. Add to your toolbox with this virtual workshop on color theory. Author, illustrator and teacher, Jen Betton will talk about how to use color for maximum impact in your work, using examples from illustration and animation.
