Book Reviews of Color Mixing Bible: All You'll Ever Need to Know about Mixing Pigments in Oil, Acrylic, Watercolor, Gouache, Soft Pastel, Pencil, and Ink
Book Review: Bunch of Charts
Summary: 3 Stars
This book is just a bunch of color charts showing how one color mixes with all the others such as how cadmium orange mixes with particular reds, yellows, blues etc. It is great for traditional media such as oils, watercolors, and ink, but is completely useless for digital art. I like the book, and it's great if you do oil painting and are looking for just the right color, but I think it's a bit on the pricey side. Still if you don't want to waste a lot of money buying colors you don't need this is a good book to buy.

Mixing colors accurately may be an art unto itself. In fact, many artists are discouraged by the time and expense it takes to mix and match colors, and achieve the right results. Even more frustrating is the vast range of colors available. Now there's a ready-to-use visual directory that takes all the guesswork out of mixing and matching colors . . . making every artist an expert! Color Mixing Bible provides a basic color palette for each art medium, demonstrating an array of two-, three-, and four-color mixes, as well as offering full explanations of various paints and pigments. This invaluable guide features scores of tips and techniques for color mixing with oils, acrylics, watercolors, inks, pastels, and virtually every other art medium. It also includes in-depth information on how to determine the opacity and strength of a color, choose a color palette, mix whites, arrange and organize colors prior to mixing, use optical and physical mixing techniques, and much more! Plus, hundreds of color illustrations make everything simple. Whether one is an aspiring artist or working professional, Color Mixing Bible is an essential addition to every bookshelf.General Books
