Rating:  - more for the Water colour painter
This book has a few good ideas but it is very biased towards water colours.
Rating: - Nita Leland is a super teacher!
Nita Leland has a wonderful way of inspiring her readers and making them feel more comfortable with color and paint. Doing the exercises in the book are an essential part of the experience and should not be skipped.

One of the first books I've looked at that explains color in non technical terms. It has examples of how to use these colors in your paintings.

Rating: - Perfect book
This book is everything I hoped it would be. I am a novice painter, working in acrylics, and wanted some basic info on color theory. This is it. The information is comprehensive yet easy to understand with exercises for the reader to do in any medium. I was so impressed that I bought her Exploring Color Workbook to go with it. This is highly recommended for the artist wanting to expand her color theory expertise.
