Learn Amy's practical, reliable step-by-step strategy for understanding color
COLORS: A Workbook covers a range of skills for handling color, beginning with color perception — the ability to see color accurately — and color analysis — the ability to classify a color according to its hue, value and intensity. It moves on to demonstrating how to use that information to match that color in a drawing, by either selecting the proper color or by learning to mix the proper color.
These skills are the primary goal of many artists wanting to master color.
With Amy’s well-explained, detailed guidance, you will create physical tools to help you match hue, value and intensity. Once you have created these tools, the knowledge will be with you forever, and the tools will help you in every future colored pencil drawing.

United StatesA Must-Have Book for CP Artists!
I’m learning so much about color mixing and layering with secondary colors. It’s amazing! Everything makes sense now. I love that this was available for download. No waiting and a great read!
United StatesColor Enlightenment!
This workbook was very helpful and enlightening. I learned much I did not know about color mixing and selection. I highly recommend it!
FranceWish I'd gotten this book earlier
For some reason, I thought the book would be about ready-made color combos (not my thing) but it's not and it's actually just the right mix of theory and practice. I especially love that it focuses on colored pencils instead of paints (with colors mixing in somewhat different ways). Thanks Amy for the incredible amount of work you put in to write it.
CanadaColor workbook
This is a great tool. It's in depth enough for beginners and really good as a refresher for more experienced artists.
United StatesAll you need to know…and more!
Digital download of this very thorough color primer has the colorist jumping into color theory by constructing a color wheel. Given pencil color suggestions for the major brands takes guess work out of how to begin. Amy addresses the “whys” of her recommendations with very clear explanations. You can do so much with 3 pencils and by adding just a few more the results are amazing. She moves on in the study of color addressing values, brightness, dullness, intensity etc. The examples are clearly numbered and follow close in the text so your not looking pages beyond the reading. Sometimes we just want to “ play” with color and this digital book invites us right in. A great challenge is to duplicate an existing pencil color; by isolating the main hue and adding other colors to achieve the best match. Amy’s method of detailing her studies for quick reference builds an extensive library that serves as an ongoing guide to color selection. Last and certainly important for me is the digital format which allows for closer observation and ease of viewing. Sometimes with “real books” I notice Im reaching for a magnifying glass as a supplement to viewing. (I’ve not seen this particular book in hard copy and that may not be an issue. ) I’m pleased with how nicely it appears on my tablet. This is a marvelous book for color pencil users as it is specific to us and our pencils. Thanks to Amy for writing this and to Ann for offering it.
