Finally Understanding Color Mixing with Colored Pencils

This workbook has really helped me feel more confident on matching colors. The exercises showed me how different colors work together, and now I understand much better how to mix colors with colored pencils. It’s easy to follow, practical, and very helpful for improving my artwork. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to get better at mixing colors with colored pencils!

Too complicated if you have no formal training in color theory.

Clear, insightful and helpful

I haven't finished the workbook yet but so far I've found the text to be very clear and well-explained and the exercises are very helpful. They take a long time to do but it's well worth taking the time as I'm learning to appreciate colour and see it more clearly. The order of the book is very logical and each section follows well from the previous. My only question is why I didn't buy it sooner!

Very informative

This is a great book for those that are prepared to put a little work into. I also have book 2. An amazing amount of work has gone into the book. I have already improved my use of complementary colours which has helped a great deal.
