Hey, First name / friends! |
|
I have LOTS of exciting updates to share with you today including announcing the Skillshare giveaway winner!! Be sure to read the whole email so you don’t miss a thing. There’s a special surprise at the end! But first, color! Lately, I’ve been obsessed with retro color palettes! And it’s not just because I love a 70s vibe. I have been strategically incorporating retro colors into my work for the past two years after spotting retro colors as an emerging trend. (P.S. Here’s how you can track trends like this, too!) |

#CreateWithCatCoq - Retro Color Palette |
|
This week I’m bringing back a color palette challenge for #CreateWithCatCoq! Your challenge is to use this Retro Traffic Light palette. It’s one of the eight free color palettes in my Floral Animal Silhouettes class. If you’re a student of the class, you can download this for free in its Procreate swatch format, or click this image to get the JPG of this palette! |

As always, I can’t wait to see what you make with this palette! Share your work on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq so I can like, comment, and share your art! Want to check out my new Floral Animal Silhouettes class and score freebies including color palettes, metallic textures, and a custom Procreate brush? Check out the class and enroll here! |

Immersion is Open for Enrollment! |
|
Speaking of Bonnie Christine… Her popular course, Immersion, is open for enrollment! The Surface Design Immersion Course is an 8-week online training program for those who want to learn Adobe Illustrator, the art of surface pattern design, and how to create a sustainable business as a creative entrepreneur. |
|
If you’ve taken any of my classes, you know my go-to digital tools are Photoshop and Procreate. I get asked a lot about Adobe Illustrator, and while I love using it, I don’t have a lot of educational resources out there about it. Bonnie is an authority on Adobe Illustrator for surface pattern design, so if this is something you’re curious about mastering, I’d highly recommend this program! I know Bonnie personally and she provides a wealth of knowledge to her community. I'm a proud affiliate of her programs, which means I receive a small commission at no additional cost to you. : ) |
