A Field Guide To Color

Enlivening, energizing, calming, or dark, color is one of the most profound ways we have to express our personalities. In this creative workbook, discover fresh ways to create a more personal connection to color in your art and life. Using watercolors, gouache, or any other water-based medium, explore color theory while playing with paint through a balanced blend of color theory experiments and loose color meditations. Make a personal color wheel while exploring tints and shades. Experiment with color mixing while you make as many of one color as you can--and then name them all (honeydew green, avocado green, mint ice cream...) Through playful prompts, artful examples, and with lots of room for painting, this inspiring workbook will guide you to a new relationship with color and will deepen your understanding of what color can do for you.
