It is designed to be a further education resource to those who have purchased the book: TRADE SECRETS IIIby Chris Nandell or Color Formulas and Techniques by Carol Williams, and who are interested in personal instruction from Chris Nandell or Carol Williams and other helpful artists. Because there will be a lot of references made to these books, we would encourage subscribers to have copies of these books in their possession. This is list is not designed to be of a personal nature, nor will it contain off-topic small-talk--all posts are moderated.Subscribers will be expected to conduct themselves as if they were attending an art class at a University.
