The inspiration for Marcia Moses' illuminating guide came from the many questions colleagues and students have asked her through the years - and she has made absolutely certain that the techniques outlined in her easy-to-follow discussions offer the practical applications they want. Even artists with a thorough grasp of design and technique don't always fully understand colour's properties. But without this knowledge they'll get lost as they work. These issues are all explored, along with information on setting up and expanding your palette; colour mixing; colour and dimension; colour families; colour schemes; and, more.
