Helen Van Wyk's Favorite Color Recipes
This is one of many books by the late Helen Van Wyk, all of which are very good. She has the gift of a teacher who can convey ideas simply and clearly. The book is filled with pages of examples in color which are practical and immediately useful. She gives examples of dozens and dozens of items and how to paint them. This is a great resource book for the artist. Delicious color mixing "recipes" for capturing the dewy look of roses, barns in early morning light, delicate skin tones, and 80 other favorite subjects! Each "recipe" is delivered on one or two pages and illustrated with Helen's vibrant paintings. You'll also receive her brief, practical summaries of 42 colors ... what subjects they're particularly suited for, their shortcomings and, when appropriate, how to mix them using your basic palette.
