Develop your signature style with color theory and mixed media
Kellee Wynne Conrad approaches color mixing as a discovery process rather than a technical exercise. This 128-page guide moves beyond standard color theory to explore how different media interact when layered and combined, what happens when you apply graphite over dried acrylics, or how pastels behave atop ink washes. Conrad demonstrates practical mixing techniques across multiple materials, showing you how to develop color palettes that reflect your aesthetic rather than following predetermined schemes.
The book's strength lies in its experimental approach. You'll work through exercises that build intuition about color relationships while simultaneously learning how different materials, acrylics, pastels, graphite, and ink, respond to each other. Conrad addresses the practical challenges of mixed media work: which layers to apply first, how to preserve underlying colors, when different materials enhance or muddy each other.
Eight-and-a-half by ten inches provides ample space for color demonstrations and step-by-step examples. Conrad's focus on developing personal color vocabulary rather than mastering rigid rules makes this particularly valuable for artists transitioning from single-medium work into mixed media exploration. You'll finish with both technical knowledge and confidence to pursue color combinations that feel distinctly yours.
