from Freshie: "I took some watercolor classes with Ana at Craftcation in 2025, and she exudes color and creativity! I'm so excited to carry her book in my shop!"
A creative's guide to observing color in your surroundings, combining it into unique palettes, and applying it confidently in art, craft, and design.
Artist Ana Bianchi takes an intuitive, playful approach to color—skipping technical theory for hands-on exploration. Each chapter dives into a different color scheme, from monochromes to the classic "pop of color," with inspiration drawn from art history, travel, and everyday objects.
Features hands-on projects across various media, from painting still lifes to creating gallery walls. Colorful photos showcase flowers, vintage objects, and household items arranged by color, helping you find inspiration everywhere. The book explores unique hues in faded flowers, vintage pieces, and kaleidoscopic palettes to refresh how you see and use color.
Perfect for artists in all media, art students, designers, decorators, crafters, and color enthusiasts.
