About this title

From the Inside Flap:

Many who take up painting and crafts quickly become discouraged because they find it difficult or at best, tricky, to consistently put together colors in pleasing ways. They worry that they lack an 'eye for color' when in fact they simply were never taught how color schemes work. Once they know, they can create color harmony in any project with excellent results. This straightforward guide will show and tell them how. It contains everything they need to know––whether it's for painting, or for crafts, needlework, home decorating, or fashion. “This book will show you how to master color,” advises the author. “As a result, you will produce better artwork and crafts, and you'll have lots more fun using your creativity.”

About the Author:

A full-time artist since 1996, the author's landscapes and still lifes have been acquired by many Fortune 500 companies (including Marriott, Capital One, Markel, Owens & Minor, Lockheed Martin and Media General) and by private collectors from New York to California. Reproductions of his artwork have been featured in national retail stores from Smith & Hawken to WalMart.
