With Simplifying Design & Color for Artists, you’ll learn: • Strategies for creating simple yet effective compositions, focusing on the relationship between shape, space, and color. • Useful tips on color–how to simplify it, mix your own, and work with value, hue and intensity. • Techniques for designing with shape: size and edge, layering, and building dimension and movement. • 18 step-by-step projects in watercolor and acrylic.The approach may be simple, but your art will be spectacular!
