Rating:  Summary: It's TRUE, Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green!!! WOW!!! Review: This is far and away the best book on color and how to use it. In fact, this book is the best art instruction book I've ever read, it has helped improve my painting more than all the dozens of books on technique I own. If you're serious about your art and want to know how your paintings can have the richness of color and vibrancy of the great masters then READ THIS BOOK!!! If you can only buy one art instruction book this year then this should be it.Easy to read, easy to follow, excellent content, full of examples and exercises. Thank you Mr. Wilcox!!!
Rating:  Summary: Not the Long Needed Answer It Appears To Be Review: Unfortunately, I cannot agree with the popular opinion that this book is a great advance in our understanding of color mixing. Wilcox does do us a favor by causing us to question the traditional Red-yellow-blue system, and I don't doubt that artists will have better results with the color bias idea. The author's explanation of color theory, however, is inaccurate, which leads to a method of mixing that falls short of what could be achieved with a proper understanding. Too bad, I was hoping the art world finally had this figured out.
