Designed to overlap her earlier book as well as to advance into territory of great interest to artists - the subject of color - Color Right from the Start adopts the design, the how-to format, and the progression of lessons that have already proven popular with Page's readers. Thus it provides a familiar foundation for lessons on the color spectrum, why colors produce certain optical effects, what paints are made of, why they behave as they do when they're wet, when they're dry - and much more, all lavishly illustrated. If you want to construct your own color charts - color wheels for light and for pigments, and color-mixing "maps" - Hilary Page shows you how. If you want to test your pigments for their special properties - how the pigment particles settle on paper, how well the paint serves as a glaze or in wet-on-wet application - she tells you exactly how to proceed.
