Colour mixing is fundamental to all painting and all media. In this book, part of the Learn to Paint series, Judy Martin provides a practical exploration of how colours work, including: basic information about colour theory; why some colours mix well together and others don't; advice on choosing paint colours; and guidance on colours in different types of paint media. Basic colour skills are explained in the beginning of the book, then Judy Martin shows how to put these skills into practice in a variety of colour studies and finished paintings.
