Color and Creativity

Barron's Beginner Art Guides are substantial books that pack in lots of information at a value price. Covering the fundamentals of art, each guide provides a series of projects, presented in order of difficulty, and supplemented with practical suggestions, ideas for color experiments, and techniques for creating special effects.

This volume offers advice on mixing colors. It shows how to use contrasting colors on paper or canvas to create dramatic effects, or to evoke special moods and atmospheres.

The book's final page presents a capsule biography of a famous artist whose work offers classic examples of the title's central subject.
