At last, here's a book on colour mixing that's about painting! Given its quite small format and relatively short length, you wonder how Sharon Finmark can have included the 600 mixes of the title. The point, however, is that this isn't a dry-as-dust, rather academic collection of shades and hues that you might, conceivably, need one day. Rather, it's about how to get the right colours into a finished painting.

The first thing you notice is that the book is not divided by colour and that's important, because no-one paints by colour. No-one says, 'I think I'll do yellows today'. You have a subject and you paint it, choosing your palette to suit what's in front of you. Flick through the book and the first thing you notice is how many actual paintings there are. These are not the token illustrations that bedevil so many mixing guides, but practical examples of mixing in action.

In short, this is a book about how to mix colour, not what colours to mix, and it's a first!
