Colour guide
Lisa Solomon’s A Field Guide to Color is aimed at anyone who wants a better understanding of colour. Using water-based media, Lisa provides 30 journal exercises that encourage you to play and explore colour through inspiring examples. For example, Lisa asks us to paint the colour of the sky for seven days, to observe and document the colours around us. In another exercise she encourages us to experiment with different colours to create a range of blacks. The idea is that you read and work alongside Lisa’s examples, so there’s space on the page for you to do this. This is a practical and fun way of playing with colour while learning about its uses and subtleties along the way.
