One of the most renowned art teachers in the world demonstrates how to infuse spontaneity and lightness into your artwork using a limited palette. By utilizing only three colors, up to five at the most, you can give your art a fresh and invigorating feel. Renowned artist Hazel Soan showcases a wide range of paintings, techniques, and step-by-step demonstrations to showcase various specific color combinations.

Each chapter focuses on a different combination, guided by a primary hue or pigment property. For landscapes, she discusses the harmonious blend of cool blue and warm yellow, for gardens, the interplay of transparent reds and complementary green, and for seascapes, the captivating combination of warm blue, cool yellow, and granulation. The author delves into the almost endless possibilities of three-color combinations but also explores when four- or five-color combinations can enhance or work more efficiently. This ensures that your artwork is more cohesive, light, and showcases the beauty of the watercolor medium.

This comprehensive guide is packed with demonstrations, work-in-progress paintings, and finished pieces. Each painting includes an itemized list of colors, making it not only a valuable technique book but also a fantastic resource for exploring color combinations. Whether you are a new painter or an experienced artist, this guide will provide you with valuable insights and inspiration to enhance your artistic journey.
