Brimming with 30 years' worth of instruction by a veteran workshop teacher, Rose Edin, Color Harmonies offers a strong foundation for artists just starting out in watercolor, as well as groundbreaking advice for advanced artists in search of more effective and personal approaches to color and light. Don't settle for colors that just sit there. Inspired by the work of the great impressionists, Color Harmonies shows you how to use analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel) and their complements to achieve lively, glowing effects. By keeping palette-mixing to a minimum, placing pure color notes side by side and applying other simple but powerful color tricks, you'll create sparkling passages of color that attrach your viewer's eye, engage the imagination and make your paintings shine.
