Product Description
"I started to get comments on the glow, the color and the life my paintings had... I suddenly realized I didn't mix colors--I mingled them. It was an epiphany."

Reviews


Daring Color
I love the way she combines color - "color mingling". Her colors are transparent yet intense. There is much attention to shadows and compostion that is quite helpful. Get her book; you'll love it.

Good ideas
This book has some good ideas and great use of color. Pretty instructional for a veteran "hobby" watercolorist.

"Daring Colors" by Anne Abgott
I think "Daring Colors" by Anne Abgott is a fantastic book! It gives me those shortcuts I've always been thinking about. Instead of painting tons of layers, you can mingle your paints on the paper and get the same or even better results! Awesome book! I am drooling all over it! Very well written. It guides you how to achieve very vibrant and realistic paintings without investing many hours, so you can enjoy your finished product much sooner. One of my favorite books on watercolors.

Great Daring Color
As a watercolor instructor, I am always on the lookout for new approaches to color. This book meets all of the criteria and more. Information is clear and simple with great illustrations. This is a great book for beginners and up.

FUN! with watercolor
Just a fun book to read if you want glow in your paintings.....good ideas to try, and techniques for creating interest in watercolor paintings, and for getting good mixes without ever getting mud.
