The foremost color problem identified by artists lies in the mixing of greens. They want to be able to mix grays, oranges, browns and violets of course, but first of all greens.Our eyes are very sensitive to green and we can identify a vast range. Artists need access to this range if their work is to be at all realistic. Apart from a few standard premixed greens, the result is often very much trial and error.This pocket sized book, in our 'Color Notes' series, offers the artist and craft worker instant access to a vast range of easily mixed, predictable greens. Using a simple step by step approach the reader is shown how to produce yellow-greens, blue-greens, bright, dull, vivid, opaque and transparent greens. Then how to make any of these lighter or darker. Not only is full information given on the mixing of the colors, but the book also offers a reference when seeking instant color guidance. Suitable for any media.
