I’ve experimented with color in multiple media and in multiple ways. If you want to understand color, you need to immerse yourself in color. The way I use color has developed from time spent experimenting and by making lots and lots of mistakes. This book is the result of distilling years of my own experience with color. The exercises that follow are meant to offer you a substantial introduction to color theory through fun and playful experiments."
