Customer Reviews

poor1
This book has a minimal amount of info. Colors don't look true, and there is no information on permanance or transparency.

Winsor & Newton Colour Mixing Guide2
While there ae a few pieces of good information, the main thrust of the book is many pages showing the colors produced under various mixing conditions. This would be excellent if the color plates were done well and were accurate. However, the same color in two different places may be quite different. It does give you an idea of what will happen when two colors are mixed, but you really will have to do it yourself to determine if the resultant color is what you want.

Great Guide4
This has been a great guide for my wife. She recently decided to switch from pastel to oil, and needed a basic idea of how to mix the colors. Check out her website: http://www.emilyroeart.com in the coming weeks to see how it turned out!
