Good book. Every artist needs for that one special color they can't make. If you paint, you need this book. And if you teach, which I do, my students borrow it all the time in class. I won't let it go home with them though. I suggest they go on Amazon and buy their own. The hardest part is that often we don't have every color they recommend. And the colors are often called by different names by brands, but it is so helpful. One use for that special color will pay for the book. Paint is expensive and takes up space. Keeping 12-15 on hand is easier than 20-30 or 1500.. JRVanB said So this incorporates those two but has a great deal more. I first bought the color mixing recipes for portraits and landscapes. So this incorporates those two but has a great deal more. I do not use it as a recipe book with measured out paint as suggested, but rather coming up with the color I am thinking of. Somtimes we get into a rut using the same ole color. This book has helped me learn the mixing color for a little more life in my paintings and I believe my paintings have improved because of it..
