Designed to remove common uncertainty around the watercolour palette, this highly visual book explains how colour works through clear charts, practical exercises and close analysis of watercolour paintings.

Collins sets out key properties such as granulation, iridescence, staining strength, and the differences between transparent and opaque colours, then builds into guidance on colour relationships and using colour to create space. With a stronger grasp of how colour behaves on paper, readers are encouraged to experiment with mixing and develop a more confident approach to their choices.
