Color Demystified: A Complete Guide to Mixing and Using Watercolors : Book by Julie Collins

Color Demystified: A Complete Guide to Mixing and Using Watercolors, by Julie Collins, has been written to demystify color and help artists understand how color works in a highly visual way through the use of color charts accompanied by examples, practical exercises, and analyses of watercolor paintings.

Numerous artworks by a variety of contemporary artists are featured in the book, covering a broad range of subjects and palettes. Topics such as granulation, iridescence, staining strength, and transparent and opaque colors are explained clearly and simply, and there is practical guidance on color relationships, using color to create space, and how to be more creative with color.

Armed with a clearer understanding of color and how it looks and behaves on paper, artists will be encouraged to be more bold and creative in their use of color in their art.

Julie Collins studied Fine Art at the University of Reading and has been an artist, writer, and teacher since then. She has written a number of color mixing guides and artists' problem-solving books and also writes for The Artist magazine. She works from her studio in Hampshire, UK, where she explores her passion for painting, drawing and crafts.

Julie has won numerous prestigious awards for her watercolor paintings, including, most recently, the award of first prize for Watercolor at the Royal West of England Academy Annual Exhibition 2019. Julie was also elected an associate Member of the Society of Women Artists in August 2019.
