3000 Color Mixing Recipes: Watercolor: The ultimate practical reference to watercolor mixes and dilutions

Very nice color mixing and shades.

It comes w a 1/2” opening stencil of card stock to look at the samples. But frustrating for the artist, many of the swatches of color look identical. I think that is due to the printing process because when you mix your watercolors, there are subtle nuances that show that are not showing in the book I bought a book for me and I bought one for my sister, who I am trying to teach watercolor, I am only a beginner myself, but I know what I can see and what I can’t. It is very much a great number of colors. I wish they had made the window viewer out of plastic not paper. But it came very fast !

The recipe book is easy to use.

Exactamente como esperaba.- Extraordiario servicio.- Gracias

very comprehensive collection of color combinations great reference for watercolor artists of all skill levels

This is a nice little book - but only if you use Winsor & Newton paints. This fact is nowhere in the description of the book or on the back of the book. I certainly understand you can't make a book covering every paint out there, but it would be usable by those of us who use other brands to include the pigment name(s) or at least a short description of the color (a medium value, slightly warm red). The other key thing to note is that not only are there lots of repetitions (which I suppose could be userful if you're out of a particular color), it is color mixes of two paints only. I can usually look at 2 paints and have a reasonable guess as to what they'll look like - it's the subtlety of adding a 3rd or even 4th color that I was looking for. If those two things are fine with you, then it's a nice little book with thoughtful touches like a color isolating viewer and a semi-waterproof cover.

I am just beginning to use watercolors and figuring out how to mix the various colors to achieve the results I want is not something that's easily guessed. This book has done a great job of putting together "recipes" of colors and the component paints that make them up

A must buy for all artists. NOT expensive and the book gets down to the point. It is a reference book and helps the artist with colors.

Obvious but it is about colour mixing for watercolour painting. And important to note it is exclusively using Winsor Newton Artist watercolours. To the book, it is a good comprehensive guide to colour selection sand recipe but not a silver bullet to colour mixing, experimentation will still be needed. However, a saving of time and money is more likely with reference to the recipes. Do not just skip through the book .... Read it from cover to cover . With the ever increasing cost of art materials this book could be for many a wise investment.

Me esperaba otra cosa...algo más educativo con respecto a mezclas y colores cálidos y fríos, pero en realidad es un catálogo de todos los colores de Winsor and Newton mezclados. Si quieres un catálogo tal cual de esta marca, este es tu libro...

This book is brilliant for colour mixing recipes. Highly recommend. Good price as well.

Todo perfecto según lo esperado

Boken var inriktad på Winston och Newton Pro färger som passar mig bra då jag använder dem. Boken rekommenderas
