This review is from: How to Mix & Use Color: The Artist's Guide to Achieving the Perfect Color in Every Medium (Paperback)
This very desirable & practical book is out of print and I have searched all over Australia and New Zealand for a copy. This book is highly recommended by other artists and I have found it a valuable reference book when using and mixing artist colours.
