Hurry hurry HURRY – today is your VERY LAST CHANCE to sign up for Lilla’s gorgeous color exploration course, Color Quest! Don’t miss it – we don’t know when this class will run again but it definitely won’t be in 2025!

Increase the variety of colors you use and get more work!
Do you find that you tend to use the same colors or palettes over and over again? It’s a very easy thing for illustrators – even experienced, professional illustrators – to do, but it may affect how much work you get or how many art markets you can sell your art in.
Lilla has carefully designed all the assignments in Color Quest to encourage you to explore and expand the colors that you use in your art work, which can have a transformative effect on both your art and your income.
How? Firstly, you’ll find yourself being challenged to use colors that you don’t usually use, and you’ll discover new palettes that you adore. By the end of the course, you’ll have created your own mini library of 12 stunning color stories you can use in future.
Secondly, showing a variety of color palettes in your portfolio will help you get more paid jobs! What do we mean? Let’s take a look at some gorgeous products (any excuse!) to see how your use of color can affect the jobs you get.

If you want to get this kind of work, you need to show art in palettes like these, and that’s exactly what Lilla’s new Color Quest course will do! Sign up here.
