Discover how to give spontaneity and lightness to your work with a limited palette!

Limiting number of colours you use is the most effective way to give your art a fresh feel. With an array of paintings, techniques and step-by-step demonstrations, renowned artist Hazel Soan uses her extensive expertise to show you how in concise and accessible chapters.

Each section looks at a different combination, guided by a principal hue or pigment property. For landscapes she discusses cool blue and warm yellow, for gardens transparent reds and complimentary green, and for seascapes warm blue, cool yellow and granulation. Hazel explores the almost inexhaustible three-colour combinations but also discusses when four or five colour combinations would enhance or work more efficiently.

This extensive guide is packed with demonstrations, work in progress and finished paintings – and every single painting will have the colours itemized, making this not only a valuable technique book but a fantastic resource for colour combinations.
