This book is a very thorough color mixing reference for acrylic painters.I refer to it for color suggestions when painting landscapes. I have specifically used the sections on Luminosity in Color and Skies and Clouds. At the end of the book there is an extensive painting gallery (water scenes, buildings, plant life, animals, etc.) where each picture lists the specific colors used which will help guide artists of all levels.
This is a great book. Lots of very useful information and tips, hints and hacks that you might not know if you haven't been painting for long. I learned a lot and will keep this nearby when I begin my next painting.
This is one of the best books on color mixing I have ever purchased. I gave my first copy to one of my painting students and then purchased another one for myself. I highly recommend it to anyone who paints. Will work well with any medium.
This is a wonderful book for all levels of artists: beginners to advanced. It has outstanding examples of different artist's work and detailed descriptions of techniques.
Good read if you want to learn more about acrylic painting. I first checked it out at the local library then bought it to use it's helpful information.
This is a very informative color mixing book. It's one of the best I have read. Glad to have it in my reference library.
This has been a great reference for working with Acrylics. From working in terms of structure with black & white, to the understanding and use of color, this has been an "exceptional" book. Using her color wheel and working a 6 color secondary palette, I not only learned, but came to understand, a lot about working with pigments.
If you are a true beginner this has a lot of very helpful tips and techniques. Also easy to navigate.
