Klappentext

This book is meant to give a beginning or intermediate level reader clear and instructive information about how to control and choose color. Traditional and digital mediums are covered. Introduced is the idea that there are only two problems one can ever have with color: that you have a color in mind but don't know how to make it, or that you can't figure out what colors you want to use. Also covered are understanding and controlling the three properties of color, and ideas that can help one decide how to go about selecting potential palettes.
