Stephen Quiller has his own theory for the uses of color in artwork. It is easy to read, follow and has lots of examples. These examples include poor choices, as well as good ones, which helps the artist to distiguish by visuals, the difference. An excellent reference for working and learning artists. It makes quick work of the confusion regarding complementary, secondary and tertiary colours and shows the direct co-relations. It also comes with a wall poster reference to the Quiller colour wheel. Colours are listed by standard commercial names which makes it easy for the artist to locate the proper colour with which they wish to work. All sorts of little hints to help the struggling artist handle media more easily.

This book shows which colours go together and which don't. The paintings are fairly realistic but held in "odd" colour shades. Despite, or better because, of this "odd" and not allways realistic colours, the images make a great impression and look really good. Most examples are held in mainly two colour ranges. for example a whole range of red and green or green and blue. Most of the time the paintings are held in secondary colours.
The colour choice is clearly explained. Some examples demonstrate the effect nicely by coloring the same drawing with the same colours but a different strategy. For example a house in the country side during the day (and night) or the same landscape once in summer (gree/blue) and then in autumn (red/brown).
This is a good book to learn about the impact of colours and colour mixing. The paintings are mostly held in some variation from the real colour in nature wich I personally very much liked.

I initially borrowed this book from the Library some years ago. Now I own it and can enjoy the colour inspiration ideas whenever I please. This was the first book of its type that I had encountered and it still holds a special place in my personal reference library.
