Color: A Course in Mastering the Art of Mixing Colors - Cover May Vary

I purchased this for my husband who is going through some health issues at the moment. I thought this would be a good book to get going on doing some artwork activities. The book looks good to me, and my husband was happy to receive the book.

It's good to find an art instruction book concentrating solely on colour. There are useful colour wheel exercises and advice and exercises on colour selection and mixing. Following this book from cover to cover is like taking a course - very educational.

This is a worthy follow up to Betty Edwards' classic 'Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain'. With equally good exercises, all of which are methodical and pleasantly justified, this will help anyone to increase their colour awareness. Not a reader but a practical book with projects - you need to have the time and inclination to follow the 'course' that is laid out.

Am currently working my way through this book and am glad to say it is by far the most user friendly manual on colour theoryhave used. I was concerned that it was just going to be another impenetrable book requiring a lot of prior knowledge. I love the author's clear, methodical approach- a good buy

Informative easy to read encyclopaedic work on colour

Excellent as expected from Betty Edwards. After learning to draw using her book I bought this with confidence and have not been disappointed. Everything is broken down simply and the exercises give you the confidence you need to develop your colour sense.

I have bought other books written by Mrs. Edwards from where, in a very systematic way, one can learn a lot about drawing. This was enough reason to choose one more of her books. I really like her methods. There is lots to learn from her and this time for mastering colors.

I recomend this book for anyone studying art, as it has a lot of information on colour, I have not read it all but I am sure once I have, that I will be hanging onto this book for reference.
