A sumptuous workbook for artists of any level: you'll want to absorb it, paint into it, treasure it, and then gift a copy to a special person.
This immersive book is a captivating and visually rich exploration into how artists use and perceive colour. Théa gently guides the reader to a richer understanding of how to create harmonious, nuanced palettes across the spectrum, through her beautifully understated paintings, thoughts and observations.
The book can be painted into using watercolours, gouache, coloured pencils or inks to complete the absorbing exercises and delicate line drawings. Individual colours are given star treatment, each with a dedicated chapter where Théa invites us to appreciate them with fresh eyes. Quotations from classic literature and well-known artists are displayed in thought-provoking ways to add to our enjoyment of the exquisite hues and tones.
