Using techniques tested and honed in her five-day intensive color workshops, Edwards provides a basic understanding of easy methods to see color, easy methods to use it, and-for those involved in art, painting, or design-easy methods to mix and combine hues. Including more than 125 color images and exercises that move from simple to challenging, this volume explains easy methods to:

  • balance color in still-life, landscape, figure, and portrait painting
