Progressive Lessons in Seeing and Understanding Color
Matching the colors in nature to the colors of pigments has challenged the best artists for centuries. In Color Right From the Start, a series of progressive, step-by-step lessons show readers dozens of surefire ways to make the colors of the world around them come alive on canvas.
Each chapter focuses on a dominant color grouping: reds, blues, greens, yellows, purples, oranges, whites, blacks, and browns. Then readers are led through the creation of a painting that explores a specific color set and subject matter. Each hands-on lesson includes a listing of the exact tube colors used, with tips for mixing and applying them to create the color effects detailed in the painting. Readers will also discover how colors in nature correspond to pigment colors, as well as how to mix, use, and test primaries, secondaries, and neutrals.
Hilary Page is the author of Watercolor Right From the Start (Watson-Guptill, 1992). She is the administrative director and watercolor instructor for the Watercolor Society of Houston, Texas, where she lives.
