Summary

"Color is one of the most profound ways we have to express our personalities. In this creative workbook you'll discover fresh ways to connect with color in your art and life. Using watercolors, gouache, or any other water-based medium, explore color theory while playing with paint through a balanced blend of color experiments and loose color meditations. Make a personal color wheel while exploring tints and shades. Experiment with color mixing while you make as many of one color as you can. Through playful prompts and artistic examples -- with lots of room for painting -- this inspiring workbook will change the way you relate to color." -- Back cover
