Book Overview
Colour: A Workshop for Artists and Designers is organized into parts that move from seeing color to first principles, then into workshop-style studies and assignments.

Third-party credits listed in the front matter include a foreword by Jennifer Maloney and videos referenced as accessible from icons in the book.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- Seeing color topics such as the visible light spectrum, color perception, and color constancy.
- First principles including hue, value, saturation, and color wheels, plus notes on color on the computer screen.
- The color workshop with paint, computer-based color studies, and an illustrated glossary.
- Beginning color studies such as chromatic darks, mixing through intermixing, and swatch-based exercises.
- Color schemes and proportion, including color proportion and color harmony.

Why This Book Matters
