A comprehensive guide to everything colorful, A Fiber Artist's Guide to Color & Design is a must-have for artists, quilters, students, and anyone fascinated by the languages of color and design. With over 200 pages filled with detailed explanations, photos, examples, illustrations, and lessons, learn directly from an experienced artist and art teacher, Heather Thomas. Beginning with a study of the color wheel and color theory, the book then takes a detailed look at each individual color. From there, you'll understand how colors work together before learning the elements and principles of design, from line, shape, and form to contrast, balance, and unity. Finally, apply all the readings to actually creating! Progressing in difficulty and building upon the previous lesson, you'll round off with 12 workshops for hands-on learning and experimentation. Each lesson is presented in such a way to help you reach the project's goal and ultimately become a better artist!
