Color Theory Seminar by Javier Antunez

This seminar marks my first-ever in-person discussion on Color Theory and how I perceive and apply it in my tattooing process. During the seminar, I quickly realized there were graphics and explanations I could refine to better illustrate my ideas. That’s when it hit me: “Why not make this available to everyone who couldn’t join in person?”

In this course, I cover essential rules and concepts of color theory, tailored specifically for tattoo artists. You’ll gain insight into topics such as:
