Kurzbeschreibung
The jargon of color theory and the unpredictability of mixing manufactured colors prevent many artists from using color to maximum advantage in their work. This comprehensive survey of color—its science, psychology, theory, and aesthetics—gives artists the knowledge and power to do more with color. Artists learn what color is; the color wheel; various types of color contrast (temperature, intensity, and value); how a medium's physical characteristics affect the use and appearance of color; how color has been used by artists throughout history; and how color can be used effectively in a variety of theories, methods of applications, and mediums. This is an invaluable resource for artists who want to expand their knowledge about and invigorate their use of color.
• For artists at all skill levels working in any medium
• All artists, regardless of medium or style, need guidance and instruction on the theories and use of color
Examines the following topics:
• PHYSIOLOGY: what color is and how it has been explained by scientists
• THEORY: the color wheel, and alternative color systems like triangles and spheres
• HISTORY: how color has been used by artists throughout history
• PHYSICS: various types of color contrast (temperature, intensity, value)
• CHEMISTRY: how a medium's physical characteristics affect the use and appearance of color

Synopsis
Powercolor is a fascinating survey of colour, and an invaluable resource for artists who want to expand their knowledge about colour, and invigorate their use of colour. Colour is an essential element in visual art that affects the perception, interpretation, and compositional success of images. Unfortunately, the jargon of colour theory and the unpredictability of mixing manufactured colours prevent many artists from using colour to maximum advantage in their work. Powercolor discusses colour theories, applications, and associations, and even illustrates ideas by offering instructive examples and demonstrations. Author and artist Caroline Jasper examines the following: Physiology: what colour is and how it has been explained by scientists; Theory: the colour wheel, and alternative colour systems like triangles and spheres; History: how artists throughout history have used colour; Physics: various types of colour contrast (temperature, intensity, value); Chemistry: how a medium's physical characteristics affect the use and appearance of colour; Contemporary Color Practice: how colour can be used effectively in a variety of theories, methods of application, and mediums.

I thought when I bought this book, it would provide more than the usual insight into understanding color. It is just another book on color concepts. If you need a book like this, it might be worth obtaining. Try to review a copy before buying it.

Many of you in my workshops have watched me point out examples in Caroline Jasper's colorful book "Powercolor." Caroline is an exceptional authority on color and her book features many examples of her teaching style and color theory philosophy. This is a must read reference book. Okay, okay she uses quite a few of my paintings to illustrate her book, but I must admit I learned more about color and mixing color from this book than any other!
