“As someone who struggles with typical textbook learning, this book changes the game. It is FAR from ordinary in the realm of teaching. It's truly not just a learning tool, but a way of life. When it comes to digesting and working through the content, you are met with pages that are easy to read and flow seamlessly together-not overwhelming you, but also not under-explaining. It's just enough for your brain to soak it in and take a breath of fresh air at the same time. A truly marvelous resource for creatives.” ~Gaby

“Looking to level up your color skills? This book can set the foundation for your self study and it should be a text used for university courses. Plenty of artists publish beautiful books of their work, but few have the ability to teach you the skills you need grow in your artistic journey.” ~Anonymous
