Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Color: A Workshop Approach connects color theory and practical application in two-dimensional visual disciplines e.g., graphic design, illustration, painting, textile art, and textile design. Fundamental color concepts are explored in a series of sixteen painted studies that guide the student through a variety of color experiences. The lesson sequence moves logically from basic structural concepts, through experiments with color applications, to scenarios that facilitate color unity and expression. All color exercises are made from color mixed in gouache and painted or collaged into small format studies (a list of materials and practical guidelines for the studies is included).
