Color theory and color mixing are essential topics for all artists to know, and Contemporary Color Theory: Watercolor Flowers covers both in an easy-to-follow way with simple, actionable steps that any artist can do.

- Mix paint colors - Avoid ""dirty"" mixes (those that look too brown, for example) - Create your own color wheel - Create neutral colors and pastels - Mix vintage colors - And much more

This book is ideal for all skill levels and ages, and while it focuses on watercolor, the same tips and techniques can be applied to other media as well, including acrylic, oil, and gouache. Once you're familiar with color theory and feel comfortable creating your own color mixes, dive into the step-by-step painting projects. Each project is done in the style seen on the author's popular Instagram account and features beautiful, romantic florals painted in watercolor. Learn how to paint floral wreaths, bouquets, and different types of flowers, including roses, agapanthus, tulips, and more.
