LoarieColor and composition are the most important tools an artist can use to elicit a response from a viewer. But it is color we see first. Color either grabs the viewer with its expression of a mood or emotion or it does not. In "Color Harmony." artist and teacher. Margaret Kessler has given a great gift to those of us seeking help with this important subject.Kesslers well illustrated book shows how to use color to establish depth and form. create eye-pleasing contrasts. convey different times of the day and specific atmospheric conditions. and heighten the expressiveness and impact of a painting. She also emphasizes the importance of using the color wheel as we paint. It surprises her that many artists do not have the color wheel close at hand while painting. Color is just that important!"Color Harmony" is organized into six sections:1. The Basics of Color (properties. mixing. matching)2. Choosing a Color Scheme3. Discovering the Munsell Color Wheel4. Mastering the Contrasts of Color (varying value. temperature. and intensity)5. How Light and Atmosphere Affect Color (depth; variations with time of day and weather)6. Designing With Color (a full demonstration that ties all the principles together)This book can serve as a good guide for the new artist... and a refresher guide for those who are not so new.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. OMG! An thats putting it lightly!By D. WoodIf you think that a paperback book buy a southern gal isnt worth the price of peas. expect a surprise! This book has helped me so much and I find that I am going back to it again and again for reference. ideas. and inspirations from Margarets experiences in color. The color wheel (traditional and Munsells) finally makes sense that can be put to canvas for me with this book. I cannot rate her work high enough in this book. I also have her other book: Painting Better Landscapes (another must have for landscape painters!!!). Even though I mainly work in acrylics and have just recently got into oils I love them both!!!
