Book Description
Select your paint with confidence and protect your valuable work. This book is about artist's paints, a guide to the selection of a suitable palette in watercolors, oil paints, acrylics, gouache or alkyds. It will enable you to identify the good, the indifferent and the bad. It also outlines the characteristics and temperaments of each color and lists the suitable as well as the unsuitable pigments that you will come across. Vital Information for the concerned artist.

From the Publisher
The aim of this book has been to guide the artist away from poor, often harmful colors towards the more worthwhile. In this context 'harmful' refers to the damage likely to be caused to a painting after exposure to light. Too often the artist puts enormous creative energy into a piece of work without realising that certain colors used will ensure its eventual distruction. There is no need whatsoever for this situation to exist.
