Acrylic Mixing Directory

This handy guide from Walter Foster will help take the guesswork out of choosing and mixing colors. Colors that look ideal on a color chart may not always perform as you expect when mixed on a palette. See at a glance how colors perform both alone and in hundreds of specially mixed samples.

The Acrylic Mixing Directory explains color theory in easy terms, using a wide range of mixing techniques. It features 50 specially selected colors mixed on a palette that result in more than 2,500 different blendings.

Each combination is shown on palette and on paper so that painters see how to get the most out of a range of color mixes.

A bonus section includes an overview of materials, tips, and techniques. The book has a concealed spiral binding for easy access and review.
