Filled with easy-to-follow instructions and step-by-step exercises, this comprehensive guide from bestselling author Hazel Soan teaches artists everything they need to know about colour.

Written in an accessible style, it begins with the basics (what colour is, how pigments are made) and then explores the palette, the properties of different colours, transparent and opaque colours, granulating and sedimentary colours, and warm and cool colours. Learn how different hues interact, how to blend by eye, and how to create light, shade, depth, and tone in your work. Illustrated throughout with Soan's magnificent, colourful paintings, this beautiful book is a good guide to mastering and understanding colour.
