5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent practical disucssion of the use of color,
By A Customer
This review is from: Helen Van Wyk's Favorite Color Recipes 2 (v. 2) (Hardcover)
This is one of three books by the late Helen Van Wyk all of which are very good. She has the gift of a teacher who can convey ideas simply and clearly. The book is filled with pages of examples in color which are practical and immediately useful. She gives examples of dozens and dozens of items and how to paint them. This is a great resource book for the artist. Check out her other two books also.

This review is from: Helen Van Wyk's Favorite Color Recipes 2 (v. 2) (Hardcover)
The book contains just what it says, color recipes. It is great for the novice in determining a great color mixture for fruits, glass, sunsets, snow., portraits, etc. She also gives some compositional tips for creating beautiful paintings.
