One of the best books on color mixing
This book will help you understand color and color mixing better than any book i have read on the subject. There are activities to do that will also help. You will understand your palette better and learn how to avoid making mud. I love it and got two more for painter friends. Every painter should have this in their library. Good for Understanding color in any medium - acrylics, watercolor, colored pencil, even quilting!
