Making Color Sing 25th Anniversary Edition

In the 25th anniversary edition of&#160;<i>Making Color Sing</i> Jeanne Dobie teaches you new ways to think about color and make it work for you through 31 clear easy-to-follow exercises. No color exists in isolation; colors are always interacting with one another. As this nationally recognized author explains understanding color relationships is the key to successful painting. <br><br> Do you know how to use the push and pull of warm and cool colors to create a feeling of space? Can you generate exciting vibrations through the interplay of complements? Have you ever considered disguising one color in a scene to accent another color? All these possibilities&#151;and more&#151;are discussed and clarified with illustrations.<br><br> The lessons on color lead into another essential painting consideration: composition and design. Painting is much more than copying what you see. It involves finding a structure that allows you to organize and thus communicate your impressions and reactions. Dobie encourages artists to experiment with different arrangements of shapes and values to build a dynamic foundation in their paintings. This manual stimulates new ways to think about colour generating responses that unlock personal creativity and allow artists to express themselves with paint.
