Welcome to the Thrill of Color

A must-read for beginners to advanced artists, COLOR IS EVERYTHING explains exactly how to master color in oils, acrylics or watercolors. “Once you understand color,” comments artist & author Dan Bartges, “you will paint better pictures and have a lot more fun painting.”  

Recommended by Library Journal as the “practical guide into the richer possibilities” of color, this well-designed 96-page book explains how to achieve color harmony in every painting.  The concise, easy-to-follow text is enhanced with more than 100 full-color illustrations by the author as well as famous paintings from the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts by Cezanne, Picasso, de Kooning, Goya, Degas, Sargent and others.  Also included are quick exercises to accelerate understanding and strengthen color competency.  “Color,” adds the author, “will become your strongest, most reliable ally at the easel.”
