Color theory and color mixing are essential topics for all artists to know, and Contemporary Color Theory: Watercolor Flowers covers both in an easy-to-follow way with simple, actionable steps that any artist can do. This book is ideal for all skill levels and ages, and while it focuses on watercolor, the same tips and techniques can be applied to other media as well, including acrylic, oil, and gouache.

Once you’re familiar with color theory and feel comfortable creating your own color mixes, dive into the step-by-step painting projects. Each project is done in the style seen on the author’s popular Instagram account (@thewhimsicalcreative) and features beautiful, romantic florals painted in watercolor. Learn how to paint floral wreaths, bouquets, and different types of leaves and plants.

Learn how to:

– Mix paint colors.
– Avoid “dirty” mixes (those that look too brown)
– Create your own color wheel.
– Create neutral colors and pastels.
– Mix vintage colors.
– And much more!

Over the years I’ve tried to learn the Color Wheel along with all of it’s variations. While I’ve grasped some of it, I never grasped all of it until now. This author does an excellent job at breaking it all down into an easy to understand format. I learned about primary colors, pastel colors, colors that compliment each other well, color harmony, how to mix colors together, and all sorts of other things.

After you learn all about the Color Wheel and how to mix together paint…you’ll want to move onto the beautiful projects included in the book. Learn to paint Eucalyptus leaves, beautiful roses, rosemary, leaf wreath, a cluster of forget-me-nots, spring & summer flowers, plus more!!!
