Practical Art Instruction Book of the Year

 

BASIC COLOUR
Jane de Sausmarez

As with learning a foreign language, as soon as you know enough words to get by, it becomes more difficult to increase vocabulary because of a less urgent need. It is much the same when mixing colours; one tends to go on mixing what one knows. With the explanations and colour exercises in this book, I hope to increase both your colour vocabulary and knowledge. Because all the exercises are logical , you will be able to know exactly how you have mixed each of your colours and how to arrive at the same result again. Past students often tell me they are still referring to their colours wheels long after they have painted them.

- from Jane's preface. I tried to put it better myself and couldn't, which is the sign of a good author!
