3.0 out of 5 stars Helps to know Jocasta Innes works..., January 15, 2001

This review is from: Color (Around the House) (Hardcover)

I bought this book a while back. As I already own Ms Innes "New Paint Magic" I feel that "Color(Around the House)" would be most helpful as a followup but not as a sole source of information. The photography is beautiful and the book has a few very helpful suggestions about color combining techniques, but it takes a bit of imagination to be able to apply these methods.

I got to know Jocasta Innes' paint techniques while living in Britain. She is the number one authority! I was thrilled to find this book here and I recommend any of her books, particularly "The New Paint Magic"
