Colour Demystifiedwill banish the all-too-common confusion over the watercolour palette and give painters the confidence to experiment with colour mixing.
This book demystifiescolour, and helps artists understand how colour works in a highly visual way through the use of colour charts accompanied by examples, practical exercises, and analyses of watercolour paintings.
Numerous artworks by a variety of contemporary artists are featured in the book, covering a broad range of subjects and palettes. Topics such as granulation, iridescence, staining strength, and transparent and opaque colours are explained clearly and simply, and there is practical guidance on colour relationships, using colour to create space, and how to be more creative with colour.
Armed with a clearer understanding of colour and how it looks and behaves on paper, artists will be encouragedto be more boldand creativein their use of colour in their art.
