Understanding Color: Creative Techniques in Watercolor

By Marcia Moses

The inspiration for Marcia Moses' illuminating guide came from the many questions colleagues and students have asked her through the years--and she has made absolutely certain that the techniques outlined in her easy-to-follow discussions offer the practical applications they want. Even artists with a thorough grasp of design and technique don't always fully understand color's properties. But without this knowledge they'll get lost as they work. These issues are all explored, along with information on setting up and expanding your palette; color mixing; color and dimension; color families; color schemes, and more.

Excellent book on color

This is a great book on color which is practical and has taught me a lot about color. Color plays a great importance in our lives and this book has enabled me to study how I feel about color and to begin to gain control of color and produce the results I want. I am controlling it rather than depending on haphazard results. I love this book.
