Unlike Maria’s Exterior Colour Selection Masterclass, this is not pre-recorded. THIS IS A FULLY-IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE. Maria will lead the course live from her studio office and you can expect her to be just as high energy on your computer screen as she is in person 😉

You will be invited to a private Zoom meeting and will receive a link for the two-day online course. All you need to join is desktop or laptop computer with reliable internet access, a webcam, and speakers with good volume. The interactive experience just isn’t the same via a cell phone.

Maria loves to connect personally with her students and that means she needs to see your lovely face – so it will be MANDATORY to turn on your camera during the virtual workshop. There will also be time to interact with your fellow classmates during some of the exercises. We promise this makes it more fun!

Yes! Whether you attend the virtual or in-person Expert Colour & Design Training, you’ll be certified as a True Colour Expert™ after two days. This also includes a digital badge for your website and social media accounts as well as a printable certificate.

Maria is always asked if her live trainings will be recorded to watch later.

Maria’s intellectual property, including her unique teaching methods, techniques, and materials, is one of her most valuable assets that she has developed over years of experience. This is why we choose not to share the entire recording of her live Expert Colour and Design Training workshops.

By protecting Maria’s intellectual property, we ensure that her colour expertise remains exclusive to her trainings and maintains its value.

But, we have good news! Maria has recorded an additional training that provides a complete overview to the Understanding Colour™ and Understanding Undertones™ lessons you receive in the Expert Colour and Design Training.

This video training also covers her exclusive Comparative Colour Method™ and Colour Balancing Method™. The overview is just over two hours in length and will be available to watch on-demand, with lifetime access after you complete the live training.

For the first time ever! If you enroll in the full VIP package (highly recommended!), you’re invited to spend an evening with Maria and unwind after two absolutely packed days in class.

Continue the conversation over a wide variety of delicious snacks, beverages and great company.

For those of you attending the Vancouver workshop, you’ll get an exclusive in person tour of her own gorgeously decorated home!

Her place is a bit of a long commute from Dallas though! So she’ll be hosting you at a lovely nearby venue.

The answer is YES!

But Maria, I’m not a professional. I’m just a regular person who wants a more beautiful home. My house is so basic and my budget is tight. I never know where to start and worry that I’ll just mess it up. Should I still enroll in Expert Colour & Design Training?

Here’s a blog post that helps answer this question too!

Can you relate? 

Rest easy. This course is usually made up of 50% design professionals (or those exploring a new career in design) and 50% homeowners who want to learn how to make the endless colour choices that come with owning a home – insights you can use forever. 

And let me just add this. If you want a beautiful home you’ll love forever – THIS WORKSHOP is for you!

Colour mistakes cost money. 

Whether you are a homeowner or a professional, knowing how to AVOID and FIX mistakes will SAVE you money, time and time again. In fact, fixing just one colour mistake likely saves you enough money to pay for this course. 

And hey, that’s good money that you can use to buy more lamps, I might add! Ha!

Definitely NOT! 🙌🏻

Your instincts are good, but your client still needs to know the “why.” And communicating this can be a challenge for both the new designer and the seasoned one.

In just two days, you’re going to know how to tell a client what’s missing or what’s wrong, and what they need to do to make it better. This is the confidence you need to communicate more directly with your clients – no matter where you are in your design career.

Let’s face it, a color consultation goes beyond choosing paint colors for a wall. Typically you’re also advising on the colors for furniture and decor in order to create a cohesive color scheme that flows throughout. You’ll learn how to harmonize both.

And when you apply my timeless design principles to your bathrooms and kitchens, you’ll have more freedom to express yourself through decorating and create a portfolio that’s truly everlasting.

But you may still be wondering if this investment really worth it?

I’ll walk you through the EXACT steps for making colour and design decisions from start to finish, for ANY project. Imagine what this kind of insight can do for your home? Your design business? Your new build?

💰 And, finally here’s how my two-day workshop pays for itself. 

First, it’s the cost of one mistake. That’s easy math. For most it has a dollar amount. You never forget what it cost to replace that _________. Believe me, I’ve been there. There’s also an emotional cost – delays, frustration, OVERTHINKING. Been there too.

Second, being able to decorate around a finish you inherited (that you’re not in love with). Often, you’ll get much more out of decorating and styling a room WELL than by fixing expensive colour mistakes. 

Did you get that? You’ll learn the best way to freshen up your home when you can’t replace everything. You’ll learn to solve a variety of challenges with colours and finishes, so you can move forward – whether you’re working with a budget that’s basic or luxe. 

I’ve been helping clients pull together their spaces with both new and inherited finishes for over 20 years. I’ve seen it ALL. So, I know a thing or two about solving decorating challenges of all kinds. And, you’ll learn the exact same process I use in just two days.

The course is typically filled with 50% designers (or people wanting to switch to a design career) and 50% homeowners.

Now’s the time to carve out a niche for yourself as the go-to COLOUR expert in your area. 

Soaring real estate costs make colour consulting a necessity. Because when people stop building, they start renovating. If they don’t have the budget to replace cabinets, they paint. 

Your colour expertise will be more in demand now than ever before!

This workshop is jam-packed with tangible takeaways and practical techniques that you can use right now in your own home or a client’s home.

If you’ve already consumed all of Maria Killam’s blog posts, books, and online courses, there’s still plenty to be gained. Most importantly, the energy you get from learning directly from Maria!

Enrolling in this workshop not only saves you money but also helps you stop overthinking every decision and follow a simple and organized process.

The training has been broken down into two days for both the virtual course and the in-person one.

Maria continues to offer her virtual colour training so that you can still participate from the comfort of your own home or office, without the need for travel or hotel expenses.

For the Virtual class, you will need to bring your own Benjamin Moore Colour Preview fan deck and the Collections fan deck (or borrow them) prior to class.

To reduce the cost of the virtual course, we will send you an envelope with paint chips and fabrics for the hands-on exercises, as well as a neutral colour wheel.

You’ll receive the rest of your exclusive colour tools and resources, including the workbook, digitally.

If you don’t already have the Benjamin Moore Colour Preview fan deck and the Collections fan deck you will need to purchase them (or borrow them) prior to class.
