Description
A practical guide to developing a personal approach to colour through slow, mindful watercolour practice.
Colour is deeply personal. In Finding Your Colour Voice, artist and educator Tansy Hargan explores how colour shapes the way we see, think, and create.
Drawing on her own daily practice, Tansy breaks down the subtle movements and thought processes behind her work into a series of simple, adaptable exercises. These include slow-looking studies, colour-layer scans and colour-mixing explorations, as well as the development of a personal colour diary – all designed to be repeated and reshaped over time. Together, they invite you to rediscover the wonder and joy of colour while building confidence and intuition.
Through a series of accessible exercises – including working with a core palette and understanding hue, value and intensity – this book invites you to look more closely and paint more freely. Part practical guide, part creative meditation, Finding Your Colour Voice helps artists of all levels cultivate a deeply distinctive way of seeing and using colour, while establishing a calm, sustaining creative practice.
