Spent $300 on a 'professional' color mixing class and learned nothing new
Honestly, I see so many people pushing these advanced color theory workshops. I signed up for one in Phoenix last fall, thinking it would take my custom blends to the next level. Tbh, it was just a rehash of the color wheel basics we all learned in school, with a fancy name and a high price tag. The instructor spent half the time talking about her social media instead of actual technique. I walked out $300 lighter and with zero new skills. Has anyone else felt ripped off by these 'masterclass' events? What's a better way to actually learn advanced color correction?

Look, you gotta see it from the other side. That $300 isn't just for the info, it's for the whole experience and getting out of your own studio. Sometimes hearing the basics again from a pro in a new setting makes things click. Maybe the social media talk was about building a brand so you can actually charge for your own skills later. Not every class is a home run, but writing off all of them because one didn't work for you is a bit much.

My cousin paid for a three day "advanced" bread making seminar in Austin. They spent an entire afternoon just talking about the history of wheat. He came home and his sourdough was still as flat as a pancake. Sometimes the fancy title is just a way to charge for a PowerPoint.
