Great color gets work! Lilla’s unique playful color course, Color Quest, was hugely popular last year and our students loved it, so we’re thrilled to offer it again for 2026 as a self-paced course – if you missed out last year then sign up now!
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.
Want to change all that, so you can get more jobs in more markets? Or just want to play with gorgeous color? Then don’t miss out on Color Quest, Lilla’s innovative color play course, which is BACK as a self-paced course in 2026, meaning you get instant access as soon as you sign up, and can complete it at a time that suits you.
Art for class by Make Art That Sells students Jan Schmidt (left) and Korrie Schenkel (right). Discover new color palettes you’ll love that will transform your artwork.
Lilla has carefully designed 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.
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! By increasing the range and variety of colors you use in your art, you’re giving yourself the best possible chance of landing a greater variety of jobs, making your career both more interesting and more lucrative.
Discover how the color story of a piece of art can change its tone and impact, from moody darks (left) to dreamy pastels (right). Left image shows picture books on general sale, right image shows products agented by Lilla Rogers Studio and illustrated by Kendra Binney and Tequitia Andrews.
Here’s what you’ll get:
- 16 Mini Assignments: four Monday Mutes and then 12 Palette Finders to create 12 new gorgeous palettes you can use in your work.
- Lilla told us: “I had a fabulous time spending months digging deep to gather the most gorgeous color palettes for you to replicate. They feature quirky vintage ephemera, stylish clothing, charming old-fashioned tins, interiors from hotels I stayed at in Paris, and more. We start out easy by simply matching the four colors of the image. It’s structured in a way that increases complexity and challenge.”
Four BONUS Palette Finder assignments, each based around a pretend illustration assignment from a client, to give you a taste of how you can use what you learn in Color Quest in a real-life scenario
Lilla says: “I love these because they help you understand why you need different palettes—because when a client emails you with a commission, the color palette you come up with needs to match the vibe of the job.”
- Four Big assignments with an image to re-color to create four pieces of art for your portfolio.
- Access to recordings of the live reviews from when this course was live in 2025.
Lilla’s innovative Palette Finder assignments will help you create beautiful new color palettes based on images curated by Lilla, including quirky vintage ephemera, charming old-fashioned tins and Parisian interiors.
