Barrington Barber explains how colour relates to drawing, addressing colour theory basics and offering exercises that build tonal values and effective colour schemes. The book emphasizes exploring coloured pencil, pastels, coloured inks and watercolour, while encouraging experimentation and study of other artists. Key artistic outcomes focus on achieving harmony and contrast to enhance subjects for both the artist and viewers.","This ebook licensed to H D.

I will be showing examples – and how to go about them  \n– of drawing in coloured pencil, pastel or crayon, coloured inksand watercolour painting, which can be heavily conditioned by drawing.  \nIt is very easy to get confused by the many techniques of introducing colour into the already complex area of drawing intone, line and texture. I believe the solution is to approach it as though learning to draw afresh. Understanding colour is quite a complex affair, and the book begins by assuming that readers will benefit from an introduction to the basics of colour theory. This need not delay you, however, because even if it is not wholly grasped at once, the simple practice of applying colour in your drawings will provide you with valuable experience, leading you to work out tonal values to your own satisfaction. And please don’t believe that there is only one correct way; try out every variation that occurs to you while working, and you may discoveryet more interesting ways of manipulating colour schemes.  \nI have set as many exercises in the use of colour as seemed practical, and have tried to include all the really essential methods. You will find it useful to look at the work of other artists, both living and dead, and to observe how they worked out the chromatic schemes in their own pictures. Some are exponents of very subtle and restrained values, while others are far more vibrant or strident in the way they use their pigments. The key always seems to come down to two things: first, harmony; and second, contrast. Of course, all artists have used both at sometime in their careers, but they often have a tendency to favour one or the other. In this book I have tried to show the effects of both approaches.  \nThe addition of colour to your drawing can increase the enjoyment","cbCaitevJio27rli","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitevJio27rli","pdf",13023527,6,1,210,"English","en",105,"# Contents\n## Introduction\n## Getting started\n## Drawing still life in colour\n##
