Powercolor Master Color Concepts for All Media

Powercolor-a one-stop learning tool-elucidates the myriad aspects of color that both fascinate and frustrate artists, including physics, chemistry, psychology, theory, manufacture, aesthetics, and, perhaps most importantly, color mixing and studio practice. Emphasizing concept over technique, author Caroline Jasper strongly believes that mastering color can only come from personal application. A unique feature in the book are ten "In the Studio" visits with contemporary artists. In each visit the artist tells a different story with color-representing a wide range of media, subject matter, style, and method-and shares with readers how and why color is integrated in his or her particular creative process. Rather than promote a particular theory, method, or use of materials, Powercolor offers readers the freedom and spontaneity to develop their own creative path. Lavishly illustrated with the work of contemporary artists, icons from the history of art, and with helpful diagrams and paint samples, Powercolor is an invaluable learning resource and reference for artists who want to expand their knowledge about and invigorate their use of color.Jasper, Caroline is the author of 'Powercolor Master Color Concepts for All Media', published 2005 under ISBN 9780823042609 and ISBN 082304260X.
