Saturday Workshops
Join your colleagues at the hands-on workshops on Saturday, May 11. Have you ever wanted to know how to evaluate your abilities at color matching? How accurately you discern color and how could you improve on this? Paul Tanner has spent years researching ways to create the illusion of human skin and hone his coloring techniques all with science.  Paul will be on hand to work with you and show you tests you can take to find how accurately you discern color.  This is invaluable knowledge for you to have to help you expand your abilities as a medical artist.
