Dust jacket notes: "Because watercolor is unique in so many ways - transparency, rapid drying time, behavior in mixtures, and tendencey to produce fascinating 'accidents,' color is always a special challenge to the watercolorist. Working in this high-speed medium, the painter cannot hesitate, and he rarely gets a chance to change his mind. He must know how his colors will behave before he starts. Now, the noted western watercolorist Tom Hill has revised his highly successful book Color for the Watercolor Painter. The new material is of the same high quality as that in the first edition. He reviews basic materials, tools, and watercolro techniques, discusses color theory in simple down-to-earth terms, and evaluates the most useful tube colors, describing how each color behaves and how best to use it.
