Color Mixing Recipes for Landscapes (Color Mixing Recipes)

Color Mixing Recipes for Landscapes features master mixes for an array of landscape colors in oil and acrylic, from skies and clouds to trees and mountains.

This comprehensive artist’s reference features a robust index of more than 1,500 landscape subjects that correspond to the featured color mixing swatches. Also included are a plastic color-mixing grid for measuring out paints and a handy conversion chart for finding acrylic equivalents of oil paints and vice versa.

Follow these four simple steps to mix more than 500 color combinations:

1. Look in the Color Guidance Index for the subject you want to paint—for example, “Lilac, purplish.”
2. Find the Color Recipe with the subject’s recipe number (“268”) and a photo of the actual paint mixture.
3. Use the Color Mixing Grid to measure each paint color.
4. Mix the color. It’s that easy!
