Love this book, it is my GO-TO for helping teach people to make their own personal color palette for any media.

Reçu dans les temps. Le livre est un classique.

Color: A Course in Mastering the Art of Mixing Colors es un libro muy interesante que ofrece ejercicios prácticos y muy útiles para entender cómo mezclar colores de manera efectiva. Los conceptos están muy bien explicados y las actividades te ayudan a mejorar tus habilidades en la creación de paletas de colores. Es perfecto tanto para principiantes como para artistas más experimentados que quieren perfeccionar su técnica. Me ha resultado muy valioso, sobre todo porque te enseña no solo a mezclar colores, sino a comprender la teoría detrás de ellos. ¡Lo recomiendo totalmente!

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.

I read my first book by Dr. Edwards -"Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain"- in 1994, when living in U.S.A. Since then the book has been always a few inches from my hand. I really enjoyed reading the book, as well as doing the pertinent excercises. In doing so, I gained a first hand experience in drawing what I was seeing. In a few words, an excellent piece of work. In fact, not long time ago I bought the "New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and "Drawing on the Artist Within". On the other hand, and since I love color, I was always missing a good book dealing with this important issue. Well, here it is! One of the best books I've ever read regarding this complex subject. Well written, richly illustrated, brightly colored, the kind of book you know at once was done by an expert. The book drives you along a smooth path of learning, going from simple excercises to more complex works -e.g. armonizing whole paintings-. The book is really impressive regarding the color insight you gain by reading and doing the excercises. I think it would be useful both for beginners and professionals as well. Simply said, a jewel worth getting as soon as possible! After reading and working with three of her books, I think the only one Dr. Edwards had yet to write -hopefully- is a book dealing with drawing and painting imaginary subjects. Maybe a major issue at present but who knows, maybe sometime in the future ...
