I have a few Urban Sketching books, so I was excited to see this one dedicated to color (mostly watercolor, my favorite!) The book is written very clearly and concisely, with many illustrations throughout, both by the author and by other well known urban sketchers. I would classify this as an excellent choice for beginners in the realm of color mixing and choosing colors for compositions, but even as an "old timer" I found it interesting to read. I particularly enjoyed the explanations behind many of the example pieces included.

All in all an easy and informative read, and one that I look forward to nabbing in print for my watercolor library.

This is a lovely book. There are lots of interesting examples of colour theory, limited pallets different styles of painting. The contributers come from alll around the world and share their knowledge and experience. At the end of every chapter there is a space for you to tryout what you have just learned. At the end of the book there is a handly ‘to do’ list to help you along.
