Book Description

Publication Date: Jun 30 2010

Simple secrets for colors that sing

Don't settle for colors that just sit there. Inspired by the work of the great Impressionists, Color Harmonies shows you how to use analogous colors (colors next to each other on the color wheel) and their complements to achieve lively, glowing effects. By keeping palette-mixing to a minimum, placing pure color notes side by side, and applying other simple but powerful color tricks, you'll create sparkling passages of color that attract your viewer's eye, engage the imagination, and make your paintings shine.

  • 5 demonstrations illustrate the step-by-step creation of stunning light-filled paintings.
  • Includes expert instruction on drawing and composition, techniques for adding texture and interest, making the most of light and shadow, and more.
  • Richly illustrated with gorgeous landscape, flower and figure paintings.
Brimming with 30 years' worth of instruction by a veteran workshop teacher, Color Harmonies offers a strong foundation for artists just starting out in watercolor, as well as groundbreaking advice for advanced artists in search of more effective and personal approaches to color and light.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for intermediate & experienced watercolour painters Aug 1 2010
By Sunnyhun
Format:Paperback
I liked this book very much. Rose Edin's paintings are lively and rich with strong contrasts and very bold colour. She covers three types of techniques specifically, underpainting, glazing and mingling. There are 5 complete demonstrations illustrating her techniques. Ms Edin also covers composition, texture and the use of light and shadow. She also uses spattering a fair amount. I would suggest that this instruction book is not for beginners. I would have liked more simple and much more detailed explanations of glazing and mingling.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gorgeous art Dec 23 2012
By Patty R.
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book has a really nice section on the color wheel and how different colors compliment one another as well as how mixing colors create different colors. It also has an interesting section on how to take two or more photographs and combine them to create an interesting piece of art. These ladies artwork is full of color and life and this book is full of ideas for the watercolor artist to create their own pieces.

5.0 out of 5 stars 30 years of experience, it's here, in Color Harmonies! Jan 20 2011
By Grandmother - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Color Harmonies by Rose Eden is a fantastic addition to your instructional book collection. Rose Eden has given to us an unlimited amount of instruction and advice in one book, usually only found in many books. Her secrets of 30 years are tucked into this great book.

I have attended many of Rose Eden's workshops, have every book she has ever published and still love her new Color Harmonies. Believe me the secret in this book is not found in any other single book, many secrets are not found in any of her books. Just this one!

If you are a accomplished painter, there are new ideas here for you. If you are just beginning, this book covers everything and more than you need to start water color painting also an area of step-by-step. If you are intermediate, this book will help you to move forward with rewarding examples and a new view point.

I highly recommend this as THE number ONE water color instructional book of the year!!! It is also available for your Kindle. Give it a try!! Vivian
