Colour Painting

Product Description

With a dynamic new method, Diane Edison gets you using the full range of colours on the palette right away. Starting with a detailed discussion of the colour wheel and continuing with a broad exploration of design principles, the author then goes on to demonstrate painting techniques using oils and acrylics. In a clear step-by-step approach, she explains how to prepare a canvas, or wood panel, before looking at the techniques of wet on wet (or alla prima) painting, wet on dry painting, scumbling and the Venetian red glazing technique.
