COLOR
- INTENSIVE COURSE - 2 Days
Tuition
$490 - Materials $55
Get the Painting, Decorative Finishing and Venetian Plaster jobs
you are losing for lack of COLOR Skills!
The COLOR Intensive is the most important class we
teach. Our grads go home 'whistling all the
way' as one homeowner from Potomac MD, reported to us after graduating
COLOR. Or they swear that 'They can DO this!," as a house
flipper/designer
declared.
Everyone tells us that they will "never look at color or
design the same way again".
Our COLOR graduates affirm that this class ENABLES them to see, interpret, apply and
mix color as never before in their professional lives. It gives them
confidence to go toe to toe with any homeowner, designer, architect or
decorative professional that they may have the chance to work with.
COLOR is the ESSENTIAL start of all decorative labors as music lessons are to the musician. Learn how to play
COLOR as a concert pianist plays music.

a Buon Fresco client who had 'seen it all', owning a 4,000 SF
Washington DC apartment, a 500 Acre Middleburg Farm, a Castle in
Turkey and a home in San Tropez, France. They had 'never
seen a painted finish as extraordinary' and commissioned it for
