Colour for the Artist
What do the conditions mean?
Our conditions mean the following:
- New - a brand new book
- Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
- Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
- Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
- Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

There has long been a need for a book which will discuss the problems of colour in painting, especially for the amateur artist and student. This is the first book at its price which has attempted to do this, and its main aim is to help the beginner with the problems both of colour and technique. There are chapters on optics and the appearance of colour, on the theory of primary and secondary colours, how colour can be used, the permanence of different pigments and what they are made of. Colour and tone found in landscape, still life and portrait painting; sunlight effects, snow, reflections and night scenes are analysed and illustrated with paintings in a variety of techniques specially done for the book. There are colour mixing exercises and experiments to help the beginner to discover his personal sense of colour, and the book is fully illustrated throughout the text in colour and black and white. Hans Schwarz is himself a professional artist and an experienced teacher.
