A Field Guide to Color: Watercolor Explorations in Hues, Tints, Shades, and Everything in Between : Lisa Solomon: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: A joyful, meditative way to explore colour - This is one of the most enjoyable painting activity books I’ve ever used. It’s beautifully thought out and genuinely fun from start to finish. The activities can be done either directly in the book or in your own sketchbook — I chose to work both on watercolour paper pieces and in the book itself, and the paper quality was absolutely good enough to do so. It handled paint well and never got in the way of the process. This isn’t a step-by-step guide on how to paint flowers or specific subjects. Instead, it offers a meditative and playful way to explore creativity and colour. You experiment, mix, and respond intuitively, and somehow the end results always feel satisfying and beautiful. You will learn how to mix basic colours to match any colour! I completed this book about a year ago (it took me roughly a month), and I still remember it fondly. I would happily do it again — which says a lot for an activity book. Overall: an excellent book for anyone who wants to experiment with colour, understand how colours work together, and enjoy the creative process without pressure. I would absolutely recommend it.
Review: A Colourful and Inspiring Guide to Watercolour Mastery - A Field Guide to Color: Watercolor Explorations is an exceptional book for anyone looking to deepen their understanding and appreciation of colour in watercolour painting. The book offers clear, easy-to-follow techniques and exercises that guide you through the process of mixing and applying colours in a way that truly enhances your art. The author does a wonderful job of explaining colour theory, providing step-by-step instructions, and encouraging creativity through various explorations. Whether you’re a beginner or more experienced in watercolour, this book provides insightful guidance that can help elevate your work. The practical exercises allow you to experiment with colour in a structured way, which is both educational and inspiring. What I particularly enjoyed was the book’s focus on personal exploration of colour. The exercises and prompts encourage you to push your boundaries and discover new ways of using colour in your paintings, all while developing a deeper understanding of how colour interacts. For anyone interested in improving their watercolour skills and truly mastering the use of colour, A Field Guide to Color is a fantastic and engaging read. Highly recommended for artists of all skill levels!
