Paint & color
(Book)

Includes index.

The book begins with a brief discussion of the basics of color theory and choosing and combining colors. Although the range of color available today is virtually endless, the guidelines presented here will help one choose palettes to achieve desired effects. Decorative painting techniques are a great way to add interest to any interior. The variety of techniques presented in this book- colorwashing, trompe l'oeil, stenciling, and others- demonstrate the creative potential of color. Also included are some exterior color strategies, with photographs highlighting the wonderful ways color can bring personality to the outside of a home.
