Color Choices: Making Color Sense Out of Color Theory

This is a must have for understanding colour theory. It also stands out as the only book this far that gives product colour names when discussing specific colours. Very well written with plenty of examples

I really wasn't sure what I was buying, as I really only wanted the colour wheel. Which is unque... BUT... THIS BOOK IS AMAZING. I totally love it from cover to cover. This guy understands colour and uses so brilliantly. I will getting his other books asap... And really wish I could go to one of his classes. And his colour wheel is worth the price of the book alone... But this whole book is captivating to the colour theorist, painter and art appreciater. I could rave on about this book, but go buy it and see what I mean for your self!

A good and understandable book on colour theory (generally but mainly for use in artwork)

Love this book. I never understood colour theory as much as I do now. Very instructional, very good if you already have basic understanding of colour theory and want to learn further

This should be the first book you buy if you do watercolour. I bought paint on a whim and didn't realise I was missing some important colours until reading this. It not only explains why certain colours look good together, but also how to choose them. This is the most important part. Before, I was looking for colour palettes online because I knew some colours looked good together, but I didn't know why.

I ordered it after keeping one from the library for a few months. It is incredibly informative if you're studying colour, especially with all the examples and variations. The quality and originality of images are out of this world. Not to mention, the book is full of beautiful paintings which look beautiful printed, I would gladly pay to hang each of them on my walls as posters. I've looked at a lot of books about colour for my project at uni and this is one of the best. Definitely recommend.

One of the best books I've ever read on colour. 5/5.

Finally, a book that explains colour theory in a simple and understandable way. I've bought numerous books on this subject and at the end of them have felt none the wiser, but the author of Color Choices, explains the theory in such a way that I now feel confident to be able to apply better colour choices in my art. Also, his colour wheel using the actual paint names is genius. I highly recommend this book.

Colour Theory. Not the easiest topic, but every artist requires some knowledge of it and this author definitely knows his stuff. Not for the faint hearted, but worthwhile dipping into and getting what you need to take your use of colour to the next level. Lots of examples demonstrating the points he is making, some exercises to get you experimenting with colour. The important factor, for me at least, is that what he's talking about can be applied to whatever colour palette you choose. It really does get you thinking about your own colour choices.

Es un autor al q sigo desde hace tiempo. El libro es muy bueno, muy completo y muy bien explicado. S. Quiller juega muy bien con las paletas de color y aquí te enseña a entender nuevas posibilidades. Recomendable 100%

O livro é de ótima qualidade e é muito útil pra quem quer aprender sobre o uso das cores em paisagens (na verdade sobre o uso das cores em geral). Tem ótimas pinturas como exemplos também! Recomendo! Tudo muito lindo e sem dúvida um dos melhores que já li!

I was looking for a book on color theory and color scheme for watercolor and drawing. I am glad to have found this particular one because it relates directly to the world of painting (oils, watercolors, acrylics) not printing/CMYK or digital/RGB. If you already own a color theory book then this one may not provide new information in terms of color schemes, this is not a swatch book. What you'll find: a huge color wheel using a range of paint pigmentation names (not just red, yellow, blue...). Each color scheme type clearly explained with lots of examples and exercises for the reader. Insights from the author who is also a painter going beyond color theory but will also talk of process and techniques specific to painting.

worth it just for the collection of amazing paintings that u can admire for hours. Definately will lure u to try landscapes and move past wimpy washes. Go bold colors !
