How to take the Unbound Color Course step by step
- Step 1: Set up your workspace and materials: Gather acrylic paints, brushes, a palette, and the printable course worksheets. The course assumes you have basic supplies; check the materials list before starting. Common mistake: skipping the materials prep and having to pause mid-lesson.
- Step 2: Work through the color theory lessons in order: Follow the video and text lessons sequentially—they build on each other. Start with the acrylic introduction, then move to color theory and color mixing. Checkpoint: complete the color wheel exercise before moving to color meaning.
- Step 3: Practice mixing your own palette: Use the color mixing exercises to create custom hues. The course teaches you how to adjust saturation and value, so you can match colors to your planner theme. Common mistake: mixing too much paint at once—start with small amounts and adjust gradually.
- Step 4: Apply your color knowledge to a planner spread: Take one of the color schemes you created and use it to decorate a weekly or monthly spread. The course includes project ideas that translate directly to planner use. Checkpoint: photograph your finished spread and note which color combinations feel most balanced.
