"Of all the books I own on color this one is by far the most informative without being too technical. It is written in a clear readable manner that is very easy to follow. It covers all the aspects of artist colors by not getting bog down with color wheels, but rather she explains more in the way of color relationships, the nature of colors and pigments.
Even though she is a water colorist, the information is this book can easily be use for any medium. It's the knowledge she imparts that anyone looking to expand their knowledge of color to improve their art will find beneficial."
"The teacher of my watercolor painting class recommended "Making Color Sing" and led the beginning painters in the class in an exercise from the book and that's all it took--I had to read the book. After borrowing it from my library, I bought a copy so that I can work my way through it instead of rushing to get it back to the library.
Besides understanding the concepts Dobie writes about, I've used several in paintings done for the class. My excitement about the effects achieved were confirmed by the reactions the paintings elicited from the teacher and my classmates.
This book combines theory and practical applications and will be a treasured reference for me."
"This is "the" book to buy if you want to study color in watercolor. I learned watercolor from a perfectionist with a genius eye for color. She required this book to use (not just read) in her class. I still refer to it years later."
"Jeanne Dobie has been painting and teaching for decades, recently retired, but her legacy is sharing all of her expertise with fellow painters, guiding us all with solid information to improve our understanding of watercolor painting. I'm sure that the color "theory" could be applied to all mediums, but watercolor, in particular, has dynamics that are unique to itself. Ms. Dobie shares information on mixing that no other author makes quite as understandable as she does. This is a book for the advanced, intermediate and beginning watercolorist, that will make a difference and not just a book of pretty pictures. There are plenty of those as well, but the color exercises and examples set this book apart! Buy it!!"
