Miriam: I purchased this for my cousin... She loves it! she is in awe of how detailed this book is ... showing you step by step how to draw trees as well as the formula's for mixing colors to achieve the color you want. she now refers to me as her favorite cousin. This book shows many formulas for different landscapes showing mountains, clouds an much more. you won't regret it. I paid under $12 cad for this book as I received a good deal for purchasing an additional 2 book regarding coloring recipes.

niki terry: I've never thought as painting mixtures as recipes before. This thought opens a whole new world instead of spread and try and cover up what you didnt like method that I had been using. This book gives you particulars to start with and in plain speak tells you how to properly blend colors to end up with the color you were wanting in the first place. Easy to navigate with glossery of plants and animals. Whether you have been dabbling in painting your whole life or just starting out finding your paint on canvas voice (or paint on anything in an artistic way...try reverse glass?) this book is the one to get. You'll be hooked on the series.

Larry D. Nail: These newer books seem to be better written, communicate better, and are more helpful that those of the olden days when I was young. I especially like his two books on color recipes for landscapes and for portraits. you should look into these three. They are very helpful.

In my younger days I tended toward the browns, and overworking paint usually produces "mud." Knowing where to start with some expectation helps you gain a confidence with your color pallet quicker than the hit and miss surprise. Some of those "happy little accidents" Bob Ross used to call them, are not so happy.

Having a firmer grasp of color and how to use it to convey mood, time, and so forth is extremely helpful in painting in oil or acrylic. I like the painting styles of Bob Ross and Jerry Yarnell, but these books by Powell are extremely helpful. Especially as Bob Ross used a rather simplified pallet. It is nice to consider colors like chromium oxide green, rose madder, and such to add some spice to a pallet that is Prussian blue, van dyke brown, sap green, indian yellow. etc.

JAA: I can't say enough good things about this book. I searched the internet for a book about how to mix colors for outdoor-type paintings, and finally found this one on amazon. I LOVE it! It's exactly what I was looking for.

The vast majority of this book consists of the index (subject matter--what you're trying to paint) and the color recipes (exactly how to mix each one). There are a few "how-to's" at the beginning, which I've used and they work exactly as described. This book has color recipes for MANY different species of trees, skies, rock types, mountain types, flowers, etc. It even covers sand and soil types. The book has a chart on the inside front cover that shows the name of the paint colors you need in order to use the recipes. It even converts oil color name to the equivalent acrylic color name, or what to mix to get that color, if a color isn't available for purchase. On the inside back cover, there is a plastic color mixing grid, which takes all the guesswork out of precisely how much paint you need. The book has a spiral binding on the inside, which allows it to lie flat, which I like.

NOTE: If you're looking for a "how to paint" book, keep looking. If...

Elaine Deyo: Amazon purchase:
Unusual use of this book: I use this book, "Color Mixing Recipes for Watercolor", for "recipies" to blend tapestry threads. My finely woven small tapestries use three or four strands of sewing thread, including silk. Some of my tapestries are used for the image on the covers of the books I write, such as the "Eva Wynn-Roger's Small Hotels Mysteries", "How to Open a Designer Pie Shop", with just two people, and the rest of that series of "How to Open a Designer...", and so forth. This color mixing method is being used for the cover image for the complete three-book series offered in one approximatly 400 page book, coming soon: "The Kansas City Marvels: The FBI Briefcase - The Seven Diamonds - Where's Carmine?" I'm so happy that I discovered this book.
