Havingan everyday uniform makes getting dressed in the morning easy. It gives you the flexibility to mix and match pieces that consistently speak to your signature style. It allows you to focus on your work speaking for you. It strengthens and furthers your persona and your brand.
As a writer, I have to strike a chord that falls somewhere between the funky artsiness of an art director and the buttoned-up sophistication of someone on the business side of things. I have to look creative and serious at the same time. Identifying and sticking to an everyday uniform has been key in finding that image.
You might be wondering, how is an everyday uniform different from a capsule wardrobe? Well, I could never do a capsule wardrobe. I love statement pieces. I love picking up awesome blazers on clearance because no one else wanted the puff sleeve seersucker or the large scale tartan. I could never restrict myself to 30 pieces made to mix and match.
Where a capsule wardrobe is about pairing the same items to make different outfits, and everyday uniform is about pairing different items to make the same outfit. An outfit you know is flattering and works for you and your lifestyle.

"Thanks to Susan and Nicki for putting together this awesome course focused solely on iColorama! I am becoming more comfortable with the app that has eluded me for so long! It's one of my favorite apps, however I never even touched the surface of its capabilities until this course. I highly recommend it." - Cathy Bueti
"Absolutely amazing course. I had used iColorama before, but learned SO much more about how it really works with this course. iColorama is a complex app but with Susan and Nicki as your guides you will be producing amazing work with the first video. Don't let this opportunity pass you by!" - Jean Hutter
"The iColorama courses by Susan Tuttle and Nicki Fitz-Gerald are like a MAGIC SHOW and not only take you on a journey of discovery, but also provide you with invaluable reference material that can be re-visited time and time again.

A: This is a BRAND NEW iColorama course, designed to stand entirely on its own (with some added material in there making it perfect even for complete beginners). There's simply SOOO much you can do with iColorama, the first course couldn't hope to contain it all. That's why there's now this new one, which explores a whole array of new techniques and approaches for creating art.
A: No problem. We are always here to support you with whatever you need, be it a technical question or a more artistic inquiry. There will be email support as well as access to a welcoming and comfortable Facebook group where you can ask questions, receive help, and share your work if you like.
A: The Facebook group is completely optional and will not take away from your experience of the course if you decide to skip that part. Think of it as a resource for the course. It's a place where folks can ask questions, share about their art and process if they are comfortable with that, and connect with others. Certainly not mandatory. But definitely a lot of fun.
Join Susan and Nicki on this exciting BRAND NEW artistic adventure . . . Learn to wield iColorama like a pro as you explore a wide range of styles and techniques . . . And have an absolute blast along the way!
PS: And remember . . . you have no risk whatsoever in exploring this new training. You can enjoy the entire iColorama course for fully 60 days, dig into all the training, and grab all the bonus content. Just try it out and and decide if you like it. If not, you have a 100% Money-Back Guarantee. Just say the word and you get every penny back. That's how confident we are that you will love the training we've put together for you!
