Book Reviews of Color Mixing Swatch Book
Book Review: A great book for beginning artists
Summary: 5 Stars
A great book for beginning artists like myself. It helps me everyday to plan my colors. Using this book I feel more confident in finding the right colors. While I am learning to get a feeling for mixing colors, being able to do it intuitively, I can rely on the swatches in the book to give me the right hints.I use this book in two ways with all my paintings.
First, before I start painting, I plan the colors with the book: I make combinations of colors before actually mixing them. What will be the darks, the lights, the cools, and the warms.
Then later, when I want to make a color that I need and I don't know how to do it, I can simply look up the nearest color in the swatches and find out how to get there.
So, thanks Michael, great job.
