Synopsis of Confident Color: An Artist's Guide to Harmony, Contrast and Unity

This approach to color theory makes selecting colors easy and efficient. Readers will understand the importance of color schemes and color contrasts, and how learning to use them effectively can be advantageous when painting. Color Schemes unite paintings by creating harmony and dominance to achieve an expressive use of color. Color Contrasts create dynamism or tension within the painting; there are six contrasts: hue, value, intensity, temperature, complement and size. Readers will learn how to create a color scheme or palette for their painting, and how to use similar colors, contrasting colors, neutrals, and complements to take their compositions to new heights. The book also addresses Compatible Colors, which are classic palettes that use familiar Color Schemes and Color Contrasts.
