Watercolor Mixing Directory

This easy-to-use directory explains color theory by demonstrating a wide range of color mixing techniques. The 256-page, full-color book features more than 50 carefully selected colors that, when used with a basic palette, give an artist more than 2,000 color mixing and glazing options! Each combination is shown in two versions: mixed on the palette and mixed on paper, allowing watercolorists to get the most out of a range of color mixes.

The History of Walter T. Foster

More than 80 years ago, Mr. Walter T. Foster proved you can accomplish anything you can dream! Having painted signs, sold hog medicine, performed in a stage act -- and invented the postage-stamp vending machine -- Mr. Foster turned to publishing. The "how to" art books he wrote, illustrated, printed, bound, packaged, and shipped on his own soon grew in popularity, and Mr. Foster became well known for proving that anyone can learn to draw. Today the Walter Foster Publishing company carries on the tradition, developing books and kits that encourage creativity and spark imaginations.
