Product Description
Product Description
The Colour Notes series is aimed at the keen amateur artist struggling, as always, to mix and use colour. A series of paintings and studies is shown with full guidance given to mixing and applying the colours used. Following very extensive research the subjects have been carefully chosen to answer the most commonly expressed questions. The artist will collect the books in order to cover the wide range of subjects tackled.
About the Author
Michael Wilcox has a varied background, including periods as a professional artist, a conservator of art works and an engineer, which in turn led to a study of light physics in relation to the needs of the artist. His studies led to the book Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green. Published in English, Dutch, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, this book has changed the way that countless artists now mix and use their colours. This publication was followed by The Wilcox Guide to the Finest Watercolour Paints which has led to many of the changes in the pigments used in artists' paints today. Specialist mixing palettes, workbooks and courses were then developed and the School of Colour was formed on an international basis.

As an art tutor I'm constantly asked questions about colour mixing and its importance - this book tackles some of those basic questions - this is fine for a quick reference - however there is no substitute for experimentation
Format:Spiral-bound
A very useful guide to anyone needing to use greens of every shade. I highly recommend it for all mediums.

great color mixinig book
2 Mar 2009
Format:Spiral-bound|Amazon Verified Purchase
I bought this book when I was taking a couple of classes on color mixing. Although I am not a painter, I think this is a great book. I'd never realized the potential ways of mixing greens. Some of which are not at all intuitive. I visited a forest shortly after reading this book and I'm sure it enhanced my ability to see the greens I was exposed to - from the leaves backlit with sunshine to the dark green shadows on the shaded sides of tree trunks.
