Special Subjects: Basic Color Theory: An introduction to color for beginning artists (How to Draw & Paint) Kindle Edition

I do watercolor so the book was helpful to me for some basic color balance and palette building but the book is limited. The authors examples lean heavily toward this specific artistic style (and location) which was not very helpful to me. In all fairness - art is heavily subjective and the use of color in painting is very difficult to train and articulate. The works represented are good works but that being said - it may or may not be very helpful to a person looking for guidance or "rules" in developing a palette of expression that works for them.

This is THE most practical, informative and helpful book I’ve ever purchased. I recently began painting and have been in search of something like this. Many art books go into WAY too much detail right off the bat and go over the heads of a beginning artist like myself. It is very well written and beautifully illustrated.

Meets the expectation of the know how to mix colors. Shows examples and it gives good tips on the most appropiate color combinations. It explains why is important to use a particular mix of colors to set a desired mood and how the temperature influence your setup. A must have to be a must in your pallete of literature.

Great supplement for teaching 1st grader.

I like it's explanations.

A straightforward, easy to follow introduction to colour theory, with some good illustrations. As a beginner to art I found it really helpful.

Great information to use and use

EnJOYed it! Big pages, Beautiful color, nice learning.

I love this well explained book on colour. I have art experience but wanted easy to understand colour explanations for brushing up after a long hiatus in art. This did the trick beautifully. It’s also perfect for the novice due to the simple and easy to understand language. Visual examples were excellent. Highly recommended read.

Informative
