Introduction I love color and I want you to love it too There is no need to - photo 5
Introduction

I love color and I want you to love it too. There is no need to spend your life in the limited company of a few colors or to fear making sound color choices. There is a world of color information waiting for you to explore that will expand your knowledge, give you color confidence and bring new dimensions to your own artful practices.

In his book On the Road, Jack Kerouac wrote, Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon fields; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgundy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries. When I read that line I wanted to jump up and paint it. It spoke to me in color. Reading the words allowed my mind to see what he was writing. Color vibrates, it resonates, clashes and converses. Color conveys emotion from happiness and joy all the way through sadness and remorse.

As a painter and a teacher, I want to know as much as I possibly can about color. I want to understand how to make the most of paints and pigments and the relationships between colors. The best and most direct way to learn what you need to about color is to get out your paints and begin to experience the voices of the pigments. The more you experiment, test, push, mix and adjust, the more you will learn.

When I gave myself permission to make color mistakes, I learned to be fearless about color. Becoming fearless about color gave me a certain freedom in my work as well as the confidence to explore color without reservation. As a result, when I do make mistakes, I now understand how to make adjustments before I veer too far off course. There is so much to understand about how to utilize the many voices of color, how to manage and adjust it, how to fully utilize all the nuances. In this book I have collected color-mixing recipes and exercises, lessons and experiences to share with you. I hope they will help you to become fearless about color as well.

This book is also a guide to understanding how color speaks. Together we will look at the calm and collected groups of colors, explore the polar opposites and learn how to create nuance and subtlety. We will push past the color wheel and open up color conversations that range from whispers to shouts. There will be opportunities for you to try new ways of working with colors through color-mixing and color-modifying exercises, and pattern development in both paint and mixed-media applications.

I will introduce you to various artists, both established and emerging, whose work will emphasize a color lesson or a particular application of color. I hope their work will inspire and enthuse you to try different techniques, color combinations or styles of painting.
