About This Book

A practical manual outlines paint composition and the roles of pigments, oils, thinners and driers, then offers step-by-step recipes and measured mixtures for whites, grays, reds, blues, yellows, greens, browns and graining grounds. It explains testing methods and quality characteristics of common pigments, suggests proportions for different substrates, and includes tables, hints and sample swatches to guide everyday mixing. Emphasis falls on achievable results for working painters rather than color theory, and readers are advised about lighting, material quality and practical techniques for durable, decorative finishes.
