The inspiration for Marcia Moses’ illuminating new 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 color’s properties and how it affects a work of art. But without this knowledge—Is it grainy? Opaque or transparent? Luminous? Is it a staining color or one that is lifted easily?—they’ll get lost as they work. These issues are all explored, along with information on setting up and expanding your palette; color mixing; color and dimension; color families; color schemes, and much, much more.
