are presented. Each technique includes specific detail for use in oil, acrylic, watercolor, and
pastel. Then each technique is applied to subjects of particular difficulty, including land-
scapes, animals, portraits, still lifes, and more. Beginning painters will love the specifics on
the unique properties of each painting skill, while intermediate painters will rely on the tips
and reference materials to produce outstanding results.

Hazel Harrison is a practicing artist who studied painting at the Guildford School of Art and the Royal
Academy of Painting in London. Elizabeth Tate is a practicing artist who studied art history at Sheffield
Polytechnic, then spent several years painting in Italy, Spain, France, Switzerland, and Germany.

600 Watercolor Mixes

Washes, Color Recipes, and Techniques
Sharon Finmark

Hardcover
7 × 7, 176 pages
ISBN: 978-1-59668-265-8
$22.95
Available February 2011

An easy-to-use reference for watercolor painters of all levels, 600 Watercolor Mixes
shares all the keys to expert color mixing and how to enhance results with vivacious
shades and tints.

Beginning with comprehensive charts demonstrating the nuances of each color pairing, 600
Watercolor Mixes offers thorough color swatches of expected results when using different color
mixing techniques such as palette mixing, wet-into-wet, and overlaying. Plus, the basics on
color theory and concepts are presented, including saturation and value. Sharon Finmark
gives expert advice on advanced color mixing, for example, creating grays and neutrals and
how to get the precise depth of color needed.

600 Watercolor Mixes illustrates how colors can be used to enhance a painting—to create
spatial effects, add contrast, and make shadows. Filled with watercolor illustrations and ex-
amples, this manual gives all the color-mixing fundamentals for watercolorists of all levels.

Sharon Finmark trained at St. Martin’s College of Art and currently teaches drawing, painting, and
the history of color in contemporary art at the City Lit College in London. She writes for The Artist
magazine and has published several books.
