Vicki McMurry: Mastering Color
I just received a book that I ordered through the North Light Book Club and wanted to let others know what a great learning tool it is. Vicki McMurry's book, Mastering Color: The Essentials of Color Illustrated with Oil, is a must have for any artist working in oil and wanting to enhance their use of color. She writes that this book will "take artists beyond the color wheel for a deeper understanding of the emotional and practical uses of their palettes". I found the book to be written in a clear, concise and easily understood format with plenty of excellent visuals. One of my favorite parts of the book is how she uses her own paintings to show the effects of color with before and after shots. Definitely add this one to your library.
As a sidenote, she is yet another oil painter that recommends using Gamblin Oil Colors.
