Materials and supplies
In this book, you’ll learn to use watercolors, gouche, or any other water-based medium to explore color theory.
Discover the perfect color
One of the most important things to learn about color and color mixing is that often the tiniest amount of another color will generate an immense shift or alteration in your original hue.
Create a personal color wheel
What is a personal color wheel good for, you ask? It’s incredibly helpful to see how all your favorite ideas of color live together. Most likely there’s similarity.
Color meditations
Explore color theory while playing with paint through a balanced blend of color experiments and loose color meditations.
Saturation scale
Check out the example of a “saturation globe,” inspired by Philipp Otto Runge.
Square-within-a-square
Learn from Josef Albers-inspired exercise and see how colors and how we view them are relational.
Artist and teacher Lisa Solomon is your guide through these color explorations and adventures
“As an artist and an art teacher, I’ve spent decades studying color, and I’ve read countless books on color theory (some of which are listed in the resources section in this book). I’ve experimented with color in multiple media and in multiple ways. If you want to understand color, you need to immerse yourself in color. The way I use color has developed from time spent experimenting and by making lots and lots of mistakes. This book is the result of distilling years of my own experience with color. The exercises that follow are meant to offer you a substantial introduction to color theory through fun and playful experiments.”
