Artists, designers, printers, and crafters alike would agree that the selection and use of color is of great importance to their work. And, yet, a great deal of misunderstanding surrounds color mixing. Michael Wilcox offers a total reassessment for the principles underlying color and color usage. This sequel to the original "Blue & Yellow Don't Make Green" - the first major breakaway from the traditional concepts of the 3 primary colors - red, blue and yellow - contains more than 80 pages of new information on the transparency and makeup of colors and including many new color mixing swatches.

Michael Wilcox has experienced a widely varied background, including periods as a professional artist, a conservator of art works and an engineer. His research towards a post graduate diploma in art and design led to the book Blue & Yellow Don't Make Green followed by The Wilcox Guide to the Best Watercolor Paints both of which led to the many recent changes in the pigments used in artist paints. Wilcox has also published The Artist's Guide to Selecting Colors, a guide, which shows the selection of a suitable palette in all mediums - watercolors, oil paints, acrylics and more. He lives and continues his research and writing in Bristol, United Kingdom.
