Advances in Colour Harmony and Contrast for the Artist

Advances in Colour Harmony and Contrast for the Artist by Michael Wilcox. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780967962894.

This is probably the most comprehensive book on the subject ever written. The realist as well as the abstract painter rarely produces outstanding colour work. Why should this be so, given the wide range of artists colours now available? The Artists Colour Solutions CD ROM and Home Study Courses are designed to accompany the book. We find the colours which surround us in the countryside, rainforest, desert, plain or seascape always balance beautifully. Yet when artists attempt or depict these very scenes in their work the colours seldom harmonize to the same extent. The Realist as well as the abstract painter rarely produces outstanding work. Why should this be so, given the wide range of artists colours now available? the answers lie in this book. Your work could improve dramatically as you come to understand this vital area.
