Artist Katie Putt,
New Designers "One to Watch" (London, 2019) uses a simple, fun process to explain how color mixing works for beginners. Using just 3 colors at a time, you can discover how the colors interact and gain confidence with easy “mini masterpieces” to paint.
The book includes 10 sections, each one based around a different set of 3 watercolors. Within each section you will find:
- The three colors shown on a simple color wheel
- A comprehensive mixing chart showing how each color will interact with another of the 3.
- 3 mini masterpieces—simple painting projects to create using colors from the mixing palette, with easy mixing instructions and simple stages to follow.
The book includes 30 projects and 10 color schemes overall.
The colors chosen for the palettes are all easily available, and large swatches of each pure color will make matching it easy, even if your paint shop doesn’t happen to stock that particular brand or shade.
This is the perfect book for beginners as well as more developed artists who want to play around with more limited color designs.
