A Was Once an Apple Pie by Edward Lear
This pocket-sized, practical guide has everything the artist needs to know about color mixing in oils, from color theory to complementary, warm and cool colors, color tone, using a limited palette, dull and bright colors and local color. There follows an array of essential color mixes using widely available Winsor & Newton colors. Clear, practical and beautifully presented advice.
Edward Lear (1812--1888) was an illustrator, natural history artist, and writer, though he is best known for his nonsense poems. His collection of poetry, A BOOK OF NONSENSE, was published in 1846 and helped to popularize the limerick, a humorous form of verse. His most famous poem, THE OWL AND THE PUSSYCAT, has been made into many picture books -- including one published by Candlewick Press that was illustrated by Louise Voce.
Louise Voce has done illustrations for magazines, newspapers, greeting cards, and books for children, including WHAT NEWT COULD DO FOR TURTLE by Jonathan London and OVER IN THE MEADOW. She is also one of the illustrators for Candlewick's A COLLECTION OF RUDYARD KIPLING'S JUST SO STORIES. Louise Voce lives in Brighton, England.
