Colours of Art takes the reader on a journey through history via 80
carefully curated artworks and their palettes. For these pieces,
colour is not only a tool (like a paintbrush or a canvas) but the
fundamental secret to their success. Colour allows artists to
express their individuality, evoke certain moods and portray
positive or negative subliminal messages. And throughout history
the greatest of artists have experimented with new pigments and new
technologies to lead movements and deliver masterpieces. But as
something so cardinal, we sometimes forget how poignant colour
palettes can be, and how much they can tell us. When Vermeer
painted The Milkmaid, the amount of ultramarine he could use was
written in the contract. How did that affect how he used it? When
Turner experimented with Indian Yellow, he captured roaring flames
that brought his paintings to life. If he had used a more ordinary
yellow, would he have created something so extraordinary? And how
did Warhol throw away the rulebook to change what colour could
achieve? Structured chronologically, Colours of Art provides a fun,
intelligent and visually engaging look at the greatest artistic
palettes in art history - from Rafael's use of perspective and
Vermeer's ultramarine, to Andy Warhol's hot pinks and Lisa Brice's
blue women. Colours of Art offers a refreshing take on the subject
and acts as a primer for artists, designers and art lovers who want
to look at art history from a different perspective.

Discover a whole new realm of botanical painting - the natural life
forms that coexist with flowering plants, revealed in exquisite
detail. Traditionally, botanical art has focused on the flowers,
leaves and form of plants. They are depicted in solitary glory on a
page, divorced from the life forms that live alongside them in
nature. But award-winning UK botanical painter, Christina
Hart-Davies, believes passionately that flowers are only part of
the picture and loves to explore the different stages, related
species, habitats and associated creatures that provide their
setting in the wild. She looks at plants and other life forms from
all angles - scientific, aesthetic and cultural - to tell The Whole
Story. Showcasing examples of her most popular works, The Whole
Story draws on Christina's long and parallel careers in both art
and illustration. Take inspiration from her enthusiasm for the
details and beauty of all aspects of the natural world and benefit
from her experience as she shares techniques for painting moss and
insects as well as advice on composition and lettering. This book
will transform your perspective and inspire you to look beyond the
flowers.
Mitchell Smith's classic 1941 work presents a series of lessons
