Last Saturday (March 30th) we had a special USTREAM class on Color Theory and the Gelli Arts Printing Plate. It was a ton of fun, and we covered a lot of ground.
You can watch the entire class over on USTREAM: Color Theory & Gelli Plate 101.
The first part of the class focused on Color Theory. We went over the difference between color, hue, tint, tone, shade and pigment. We talked about the color wheel in detail, including how to read and tips and tricks for mixing colors with consistent results every time.

In the second part of the class, we applied what we learned about color to the Gelli Arts Gel Printing Plate to create some custom backgrounds for cards, tags and more!
I gave out a lot of links during the class, and I wanted to post them all here for a quick reference as well:
