Title: fairly useless
Product review: save your money.I'm really surprised by the rave reviews -I'm a professional artist, but never studied color theory or mixing.What interests me is creating new colors from a limited palette, and understanding proportion - i.e mixing a good brown from an orange and a blue.In the acrylics section, the charts show are made by mixing a color with foundation palettes. (six different reds, and how they are altered by adding a bit of another color.)Basically, to have the range shown in the charts, you would have to have 59 different tubes of paint as a starting point.A much better book is the Parramon guide to painting "the big book of oil painting"- he is able to create an amazing variety of colors from a red, yellow, blue, and white plus he give amounts and ratios of amounts of paint, taking into account tinting strength.
