"The Language of Color" with Todd M. Casey

Dive into the world of color with Todd Casey, artist and author of The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook. Drawing from his book, Casey discusses everything an oil painter needs to know about color-from its usage throughout art history, to how to master its many properties to bring a painting to life.
‍The Oil Painter’s Color Handbook is a master class in a book, offering a comprehensive, contemporary, and accessible foundation of color theory and advanced techniques every oil painter at every skill level needs in their toolbox. The book breaks down the process of understanding color into easily digestible lessons-each richly illustrated with both historic and contemporary examples-so that readers can layer more complex ideas as each skill is mastered. Through clear instruction, step-by-step demonstrations, and challenging exercises, readers will learn to apply these techniques and concepts to their own painting.

Where was this book 30+ years ago?! As a kid I did paint by number. They were oils in those days. Then for my birthday one year I got a set of oil paints. I loved to paint, but I was having a lot of trouble mixing colors. Often I'd end up with a muddy brown color when I thought I was mixing green or purple etc. I finally stumbled across a book that explained how all paints have bias and how you could be mixing complementary colors and not even know it because the blue leaned towards red (ultra marine blue) and the yellow (cad. yel. med.) leaned towards orange! I am surprised that it is seldom brought up in most books on color mixing.
