I'm a color theory fanatic and have numerous books on the subject, from Jim Kosvanec , Peggy Soto, Jan Kunz and Jeanne Dobie.
I'm always impressed with the little jewels each author has to offer up, but Jan Hart's new book is the diamond in the rough. I had already been familiar with her "Amazing Mixes" guides for Daniel Smith, since I'm a huge Daniel Smith watercolor fan and now she's devoted a whole book to the subject.
The layout of the book is organized and aesthetically pleasing. Her own artwork is breathtaking enough to keep you turning each page to just see more. She has achieved to get across the most important aspect of transparent watercolor, in my opinion and that is how to create glowing, luminous mixes. And avoid, mud.
