4.0 out of 5 stars May save me a lot of paint, October 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Oil Painter's Pocket Palette (ILLUSTRATED) (Hardcover)

I like the book. One (typical) page of this book shows color swatches of raw sienna mixed with 12 other colors. Each color mixture is tinted and tinted more. One would think that a skilled artist should have mastery of his/her colors --so that this book really isn't needed. Maybe so. On the other hand, it might be nice to buy two copies and mount the pages for easier reference.

This review is from: The Oil Painter's Pocket Palette (ILLUSTRATED) (Hardcover)

I started in oil paints a couple years ago and found this book a great help. There are so many different color paints on the market this helped narrow down to the essentials. The mixes recommended for skin tones has been a nice springboard to jump from. Definately worth the money.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Oil Painter's Pocket Palette Hb (Hardcover)

This book was just what I needed when painting landscapes. It is concise and easy to follow in the art of mixing colors to obtain the perfect hue needed. I would never have thought of the color combination on my own. It may be an oldie but is a goody.
