5.0 out of 5 stars Love love love Helen Van Wyk's books!, Jun 12 2006

By	C. Pilon "Theory40" (Ottawa Canada) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is my bible for color mixing, I still refer to it to this day if i'm in a pickle! I'm so glad I found her books a couple of years ago, it really gave me a better understanding about color and shadows, highlights, oh and so much more. Easy to understand, easy to put into application. Can't reccomend this book enough (and all her other books)! If you are an aspiring artist this book should be in your bookcase!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Treasure!, Nov 3 2001

By A Customer

If you are going to buy one book about color mixing in painting, this is the one for you. She explains the best colors to use and gives helpful hints as to what mistakes not to make. She does so in a straight forward understandable way. I want to buy more of her books!

5.0 out of 5 stars Helen was the best teacher on public tv, April 19 2001

By	Nina Stahlberg "painter9a" (Pittsburgh, PA USA) - See all my reviews

I was fortunate enough to have studied with Helen at her studio in Rockport MA. She was so giving of her talent, and her teaching is so down to earth and easy to understand. I have all of her books, and refer to them often. She solves just about any problem you may have in painting. How sad that we have lost her, but how great to have her expertise in her books. This book is an excellent reference book as well as a teaching tool. You cannot go wrong buying any of her books.
