About this ebook

Take the guesswork out of color mixing!

With just 25 common paint colors, you can make 2,400 different hues, and they are all illustrated in this comprehensive guide. That’s 2,400 hues for each medium—oils, acrylics, and watercolors—with each hue visually represented for your easy reference.

Better yet, each color mix uses only two paint colors, so matching results are easy to obtain and your colors remain vibrant and true, not muddied by too many pigments as you often get from mixes with many paint colors.

Pro mixing tips for each type of paint are included to help you achieve winning results. This simple-to-master color mixing system will help you find and mix just the right color, every time!

Author

John Barber

John Barber was born in London at the height of the UK Post War baby boom. The Education Act of 1944 saw great changes in the way the nation was taught; the main one being that all children stayed at school until the age of 15 (later increased to 16). For the first time working class children were able to reach higher levels of academic study and the opportunity to gain further educational qualifications at University.This explosion in education brought forth a new aspirational middle class; others remained true to their working class roots. The author belongs somewhere between the two. Many of the author’s main characters have their genesis in this educational revolution. Their dialogue though idiosyncratic can normally be understood but like all working class speech it is liberally sprinkled with strange boyhood phrases and a passing nod to cockney rhyming slang.John Barber’s novels are set in fictional English towns where sexual intrigue and political in-fighting is rife beneath a pleasant, small town veneer of respectability.They fall within the cozy, traditional British detective sections of mystery fiction.He has been writing professionally since 1996 when he began to contribute articles to magazines on social and local history. His first published book in 2002 was a non-fiction work entitled The Camden Town Murder which investigated a famous murder mystery of 1907 and names the killer. This is still available in softback and as an ebook, although not available from SmashwordsJohn Barber had careers in Advertising, International Banking and the Wine Industry before becoming Town Centre Manager in his home town of Hertford. He is now retired and lives with his wife and two cats on an island in the middle of Hertford and spends his time between local community projects and writing further novels.
