Color Choices: Making Color Sense Out of Color Theory

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 !

Very good for learning about colors.The exercises and the way its written is great.Very helpful and just enough for a beginner.

This is a good book. Color theory is explained well. Their relationship with each other explained well. Good one to read if someone is serious about art

Very good book on colors and use,good illustrations and explanation

I liked the lucid explanation of topics. I was wondering why muddy colors were coming out. I could understand why after reading the book. I began changing my color pallete and style accordingly

The book imparts useful knowledge about the choice of colour one makes. The colour wheel concept given in this book makes a lot of sense. Overall an amazing book. Loved it.

Loved the book...a must have for all artists..explained how colours work together very nicely and explained all the colour concepts and schemes effectively

A fascinating book on color.

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.

This book is wonderful. The author explains what colour is, in all its shades and forms, how colours work together, how to mix and combine them, what kinds of effects you can get, how to use colour to obtain your desired results... It's all exclusively about colour, in an accessible language (for the reasonably educated) without the extremes of being patronizing or too techinical. Personally, I found it perfect, and it helped me make sense of color theory in a very practical way. There are plenty - it's loaded - of pictures to demonstrate what the author wants to convey, and I found that the great visual elements made it much easier to grasp the concepts taught in the book. Although the medium used here is paint, the lessons taught are for the use of colour in general. I could apply all that I learned (well, still learning) in this book to my drawings in coloured pencils. I am a beginner who did not know much about colour theory until I read this book.
