Colour Mixing for Artists is a practical guide to understanding how colours behave, interact and combine across a range of painting approaches. John Lidzey, Jill Mirza, Nick Harris and Jeremy Galton explain essential principles such as the colour wheel, complementary relationships, tonal value, temperature and the creation of harmonious palettes. Clear demonstrations help artists move beyond guesswork when mixing clean secondary colours, subtle neutrals, convincing shadows and lively highlights. Examples show how thoughtful colour choices can strengthen mood, depth and visual unity, while practical exercises encourage experimentation and careful observation. Suitable for developing artists as well as more experienced painters wanting a useful reference, the book turns colour theory into skills that can be applied at the easel. It offers an accessible foundation for creating more controlled, expressive and convincing work.
