Description

A practical and inspirational manual that shows you a huge range of color mixes in watercolor. The aim of the book is to encourage you to get to know colors well and be motivated to explore and experiment with color.

Use the book as a handy reference when you want to know how to mix a specific color, or as a catalog of inspiration when seeking ideas to try in your work. The handy color viewing card included can be used to view each color swatch in isolation. This will help sharpen your perception of the color or allow you to pinpoint a specific shade to use in your own work.

PLEASE NOTE: The paints used in this book are Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolor paints. Other brands can be used but the exact pigments, and therefore the results of mixes, may not be the same.
