The Artist's Guide to Achieving the Perfect Colour.
Achieving the perfect colour is what every artist strives for and is the key to successful painting. Whatever your skill level, this book shows you how to mix the exact colour that you want every time.
This practical reference guide is divided into three sections:
- The first looks at the basics of understanding colour through a series of simple diagrams and exercises.
- The second discusses the range of painting media available and suggests a basic and a comprehensive palette of colours for both students' and artists' quality paints.
- The final section looks in depth at 36 of the most popular colours in the artist's palette.
For every colour there is a mixing chart with detailed notes, a short account of its origins, a look at its properties in a range of media and a painting showing key mixes of that colour in use.
