The book breaks down the subject of color into useful pieces of knowledge that painters can put into practice. He analyzes color in terms of light, value, pigment, mixing strategies, palette arrangements, and painting techniques. Each topic is clearly and succinctly explained in the text, illustrated with captions, charts, diagrams, and finished paintings. By the end of the book, the reader will have a clear understanding of how realist painters and illustrators have used color through history." - James Gurney, artist and author “This is the most impressive and complete book on color ever produced. It covers a wide range of color concepts, including some I'd never seen before. It digs deeply into color harmony, techniques, and has powerful examples to demonstrate every concept.” - Eric Rhoads, Publisher, Fine Art Connoisseur Magazine From Todd M. Casey, acclaimed artist and expert teacher, The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook: A Contemporary Guide to color Mixing, Pigments, Palettes, and Harmony provides everything the oil painter needs to understand all aspects of color and empowers the reader to paint with confidence. As Casey notes, every artist and artist-in-training must learn how to “master the main concepts of picture-making: drawing, light, shadow, value, form, composition, and color.” A follow-up to the bestselling The Art of Still Life: A Contemporary Guide to Classical Techniques, Composition, and Painting in Oil (Monacelli, 2020), The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook begins with an in-depth look at the use of color throughout art history. Casey then breaks down the process of understanding color into easily digestible lessons―each clearly explained and richly illustrated with both historic and contemporary paintings―so that the reader can learn progressively and layer more complex ideas as each skill is achieved. Through clear instruction, step-by-step demonstrations, and challenging exercises, readers will learn to apply these techniques and concepts to their own painting. Once educated with this fundamental knowledge, as an artist, one can begin to find the balance between the science and emotional intuition in creating art. This informative and visually dynamic book will be accessible and appealing to artists, art students, and art instructors, to serious amateurs and hobbyists. Review: Easily the best book I now own on colour - I've been drawing and painting as a hobby for a couple of years now and many years ago worked as a graphic designer so already understand quite a bit about colour. I bought this book to focus on oil painting which I'm new to. It's a work of art in its own right. It provides just the right amount of history, theory and practical advice. I've had this in my lists for quite some time and hesitated whether I needed another reference on colour but really glad that I bought this. Easily the best book I have on colour. A large hardback format makes this exceptional value for money. Whilst focused on oil paint, it will be just as invaluable for acrylic and watercolour because the principles are the same. Review: The best book on the topic, of use to all artists - This has to be the most beautiful and comprehensive book on colour I have ever seen. Although written with the oil painter in mind, there's much in here for artists using other mediums. It has valuable information not usually included in most books on the topic, eg about all the different artist/genres/era's colour palettes. Highly Highly recommended. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #49,546 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #7 in Oil Painting #63 in Graphic Design Color Use #3,198 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 624 Reviews | ## Images ![The Oil Painter's Color Handbook: A Contemporary Guide to Color Mixing, Pigments, Palettes, and Harmony - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91fdyLxoazL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easily the best book I now own on colour *by P***N on 5 June 2025* I've been drawing and painting as a hobby for a couple of years now and many years ago worked as a graphic designer so already understand quite a bit about colour.

Although written with the oil painter in mind, there's much in here for artists using other mediums. It has valuable information not usually included in most books on the topic, eg about all the different artist/genres/era's colour palettes. Highly Highly recommended. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A fantastic book for any oil painters *by L***Y on 8 December 2024* I bought this after I saw it on a you tube channel which said it was a must for any oil painters. I have read it from start to finish which is quite a task as it is a mighty tome but the information in it is fascinating and I can see myself dipping in to it frequently in the future to refresh my memory as you can't hold all the information in one go. It's beautifully illustrated,but my only complaint is that some of the photos of palette with colour information on the writing is to small to identify the right colours plus it doesn't go into the munsel system very much compared to the other palette of colours.
