I had watched the first part of this class a few times, not having the time to finish. I'm glad I finally took the time to watch the entire class! I had forgotten so much about tints and shades yet I had retained the basics of the color wheel. Thank you for what has become, in a sense, my refresher course. Very much appreciated.
