When living in a place with distinct summer and winter months, we are usually ready and eager to get some sunshine once the tempe ..read more

Johannes Itten was the first, in 1928, notice a link between appearance (including a person’s coloring) and their personality. In his case, the students’ appearance affected the colors they chose to paint with – today, in this discussion, we’re concerned with what col ..read more
