About this Item

Stephen Quiller's Painter's Guide to Color is a modern classic of practical color theory, bridging fine art tradition with hands-on studio application. Centered on Quiller's influential 'Quiller Color Wheel,' the book moves beyond basic theory to show how hue, value, and intensity interact in real painting situations, across watercolor, oil, acrylic, and mixed media. Lavishly illustrated with step-by-step demonstrations and full-color reproductions, it is equally useful as a reference and a working manual. This copy is a first printing (1999) and remains in Near Fine condition, with clean, bright pages, no marks or annotations, and only light shelf wear to the covers. The binding is sound, and the color plates are crisp and unfaded. A well-preserved example of a title that is frequently used, and often worn, by working artists. A cornerstone text for painters serious about color control and expressive harmony. Stephen Quiller is an internationally recognized American painter, educator, and theorist best known for developing the Quiller Color Wheel, a system widely adopted by artists working across media. A former president of the International Society of Experimental Artists, Quiller has taught extensively in the U.S. and abroad, and his books are considered foundational texts in contemporary color education.
