Watercolour: A Visual Reference to Mixing Watercolour Paints

The concept of this book is interesting. However, the color reproductions are not that good after I conducted my own experiments with the same Winsor Newton pigments and that is how I based my rating.The format showing 1 pigment mixed with several others is a useful guide, but putting it into practice on your own is necessary to really see the results.Moira Clinch's 2 watercolor swatch books are a bit more useful and differently formatted. Clinch's Walter Foster published book has better reproductions, Watercolor Mixing Directory.If you are a watercolorist seeking to learn more about pigment mixing this book and others like it are useful for mixing ideas. However, to learn more about pigments Michael Wilcox and Hilary Page's books on pigments are 2 of the best references to use as guides to learn about pigment properties.

I haven't used it yet (taking a break from painting), but I will as soon as a new art piece strikes me. I had been having trouble mixing, blending colors just right for years. I would take my sweet, long time to be sure that the color or shade I wanted was just right. If I had not taken my sweet time and messed up I would have been so very unhappy. I know for sure this book will help relieve that stress from me as I continue to practice. Even if you are well taught in mixing and shading in watercolor, this is still a worthy guide just in case the process skipped your mind or skill.

The color renditions in this book are horrible. This was an expensive purchase. I expected so much more of Windsor & Newton. I'm sorry I spent the money. I am no further along in color selection than I was before I bought this book.

Great book and irreplaceable reference if you are using Winsor Newton Professional watercolors. It saved me a ton of time on figuring out how to mix certain color combinations.

I frequently use this reference to choose and mix desired colors and shades. The book is small enough to be manageable while I paint and large enough to view the color wheels comfortably! Watercolour: A Visual Reference to Mixing Watercolour Paints (Winsor & Newton Colour Mixing Guides)

this little book is a gem! the spiral binding makes for easy look-ups and the gorgeous color combinations will make you drool. a must-have in your watercolor toolbox.

This is a good book.

The book was not LIKE new, I believe it WAS new. No slightly worn corners as described.It also arrived much sooner than I was told.A good experience from beginning to end

This is an amazing book. Using 25 colours, it contains 50 pages of colour mixes, each containing 40 new shades, creating over 2000 colours. Every shade you can imagine, you can find, so no need to spend money buying a lot of paint.

The delivery from Westland Books was speedy and the book, described as very good, is in fact like new. Very pleased with purchase.
