Book Description

Mixing colors accurately may be an art unto itself. In fact, many artists are discouraged by the time and expense it takes to mix and match colors, and achieve the right results. Even more frustrating is the vast range of colors available.

Color Mixing Bible provides a basic color palette for each art medium, demonstrating an array of two-, three-, and four-color mixes, as well as offering full explanations of various paints and pigments. This invaluable guide features scores of tips and techniques for color mixing with oils, acrylics, watercolors, inks, pastels, and virtually every other art medium. It also includes in-depth information on how to determine the opacity and strength of a color, choose a color palette, mix whites, arrange and organize colors prior to mixing, use optical and physical mixing techniques, and much more! Plus, hundreds of color illustrations make everything simple. Whether one is an aspiring artist or working professional, Color Mixing Bible is an essential addition to every bookshelf.

5 out of 5 stars Color Mixing.......2007-02-12

Very good for all types of artists. It even has inks for us printmakers!!!

4 out of 5 stars Enjoyable.......2004-03-12

I enjoyed this book very much. It was simple to understand and quite interesting. I'm sure it's not the end all in color mixing books, but it is not a bad one at all.

5 out of 5 stars A great book to start with.......2004-02-16

I've just started oil painting, and this book proved invaluable in helping me sort out the many, many different kinds of paint with their exotic names out there. I generally like to jump in and just experiment, but when I discovered the high price of good oil paints, I decided I needed a little book knowledge first. This book costs about the same as a good tube of paint, and saved me from buying many colors that, before reading the book, I didn't realize I wouldn't really need (at least to start with). It's one of clearest, most concise books I've read (on any subject). Every word is one of wisdom. If you're new to mixing paint, or having trouble figuring it out, get this book (it doesn't really cover HOW to paint though).

3 out of 5 stars A True Labor Saving Book.......2003-06-02

The first thing I always did with a new set of paints was create color swatches and mixes. Now that my paint sets are more expensive I hate to waste paint on swatches that I'll probably put in some "safe" location in the studio...never to be seen again. Here I can reference swatches of commonly used colors, opaque and transparent in a range of media. Sidaway also includes the best history of pigments that I've read to date - answering a question about phthalo blue that's been bugging me for years (when was it introduced? 1936.) This book is no substitute for learning about your palette, but does provide information on how to select an appropriate palette.

4 out of 5 stars Very Informative.......2003-01-03

It covered the basics of color and technical terms "hue, shade, tint" It has a section about the history of pigments and dies and what they used to be made of that is interesting. One brown paint used to be made of ground up mummies.It discusses the mixing of color in many different media.

All About Techniques in Pastel (All About Techniques Art Series)
I bought this book to see what can be done with pastels. The tips are great for setting up shop and how-to-do-it. Excellent photos (plural)cover what an artist needs for painting a given subject. It does not deviate from pastels by giving you Drawing 101 basics, other than by examples dealing with each technique. I call it a reference book now.

4 out of 5 stars Pastel for beginners.......2007-07-22

Although I haven't tried to do a pastel painting, this book gives step by step instructions and seems easy to follow.

5 out of 5 stars Neat book.......2003-09-12

It had many techniques to get me started on discovering new ones of my own.

4 out of 5 stars Good book for beginner.........2003-07-13

I am an absolute beginner in pastels and have bought some books which I intend to review. This is a good one with lots of beautiful work and step by steps, The only thing that kept it from 5 stars is it is poorly organized and kind of jumps around.

5 out of 5 stars all inclusive.......2003-02-11

As far as a pastel technique book goes this one is all inclusive. It has the latest techniques including the mixing of pastel with other elements like water and alcohol and so on. Pastel line, color mixing, blending. The strong point of the book is that it gives an example of how to paint in pastel almost any subject like skies, rooftops, water, water in motion, vegetation, fruit, skin, portraits, fur, feathers, metal, drapery, and more. You name it. I did not see another book around that has so many different types of examples. I should know because I just published an art book myself --Creative Painting For The Young Artist. So this is a book I will now use in teaching my students.

    Book Description

    This thick spiral-bound artist's book presents documentation of an eight-day walk taken by the renowned English earth artist. Each thick, almost cardboard-y page is cut into three sections, so that the reader can see the horizon, the middle-ground or the foreground of mixed-and-matched pages, or from a single photographed moment, at once. Includes views of mist-enshrouded rock piles, running streams, just-blooming wildflowers, waving heather grasses and all variations of cloud.

        Wet Land Voices is truly a masterpiece. I believe the author to be a modern day Transcendentalist. Seldom is nature shown in such a natural and exquisite state as it is in this book. Viewing the beautiful pictures one can escape into a world of peace and tranquility.

          Horror and humor are tough to pair without the end product seeming forced and therefore neither scary nor funny. This combining is not a problem for cartoonist Batton Lash, who has been making the frightening funny since the 1979 debut of Wolff & Byrd. Using his two main characters--lawyers who only take cases involving the supernatural--Lash manages to pick apart popular culture and dig deep into touchy issues, all while reveling in the standard tropes of horror comics. In this, the third collection of his bimonthly comic book series, the stories span such subjects as alien abduction (in a dead-on X-Files parody) and a guardian angel being sued for neglect. This book also contains Lash's most controversial issue to date: in a setting reminiscent of Rosemary's Baby, a woman impregnated with Satan's baby weighs the pros and cons of abortion.

          Book Description

          Beware the Creatures of the Night--They have lawyers! This book collects issues 9-12 of the popular comic book series featuring Alanna Wolff and Jeff Byrd, whose clients are monsters and the supernaturally afflicted. In this volume you'll find great parodies of the X Files and Rosemary's Baby ("I'm Carrying Satan's Child!"), the story of a guardian angel sued for being incompetent (a must for Jack Benny fans!), plus a number of short stories, including "I Married a Quivering Blob of Jelly," and "The Man With His Own Personal Laugh Track."

          What?! You haven't read WOLFF AND BYRD yet? You've got to be kidding! Don't you realize that this is one of the formost funny books of the age? Okay, let me tell you, it's funny, it's punny, it's clever and the art is entertaining. And it's soon to be a summer blockbuster movie from Universal Pictures! How completely cool is that?

          So, of course you want to get in onthe ground floor, be the first on your block to be captivated by Alanna Wolff , Jeff Byrd, their secretary Mavis and the ebb and flow (sometimes literally) of their bizarre clients.

            Book Description

            The Dean of American Rock Critics tackles the decade when music exploded.The '90s saw more albums produced and distributed than any other decade. It was a fertile era for new genres, from alt-rock to Afropop, hip hop to techno. Rock critic Robert Christgau's obsessive ear and authoritative pen have covered it all-over 3,800 albums graded and classified, from A+sto his celebrated turkeys and duds. A rich appendix section ensures that nothing's been left out-from "subjects for further research" to "everything rocks but nothing ever dies." CHRISTGAU'S CONSUMER GUIDE is essential reading and reference for any dedicated listener.

            2 out of 5 stars Funny curmudgeon prose marred by questionable judgment........2006-01-30

            Let's give the devil his due - Christgau's acerbic style of writing makes for some fun reading and his heart is in the right place - soul, rock and punk over adult easy listening? I'm with him.

            Sadly, the witticism loses its potency when Moby's "Play" gets the nod over Tom Waits' "Bone Machine" and R.E.M's "Automatic For The People" gets exactly the same grade as Kelly Osbourne's debut album.

            Maddening also is his inability to divorce certain artists from their efforts (I don't see why Bono doesn't get a pass despite his "massive ego" while Trent Reznor's pretentious posturing does). When all will be said and done, U2 will have "With Or Without You", "Where The Streets Have No Name", "Angel of Harlem" and "One" to their name while Trent Reznor will have...never mind.

            And in whose book is "Let It Be" only as good as Rancid's "Indestructible"? Christgau's.

            Too bad. It's a fun read but questionable judgment mars the effort.

            4 out of 5 stars Actually, 4.5..........2006-01-30

            This collection is just as entertaining as the other two, and because the albums are more recent it has more to offer younger readers. The only irritant this time around is his decision to dismiss "terrible" albums with a "bomb" symbol and no explanation. Why include them at all? Aside from that, this is great -- Christgau has opened my ears to a lot of good music over the years. Love or hate his style, the guy can write.

            4 out of 5 stars Christgau:Albums of the `90s.......2006-01-29

            Robert Christgau, one of the leading rock critics in the US reviews and rates albums released in the nineties.

            1 out of 5 stars Don't waste your time........2004-04-27

            It's comforting to know, that before art and pop culture are gone, Christgau will be gone. His intelli-prole tone of authority
            rings throughout this book, giving it no useful heft at all.
            If you read this to aid in your music consumption endeavors, very little hope lies ahead. If you read it for entertainment/stimulation...you can't be saved anyway.
            F minus

            5 out of 5 stars The Only Critic Who Matters.......2004-01-17

            Robert Christgau has been writing rock criticism for over 35 years. He has graded over 12,000 albums. That's TWELVE THOUSAND. He's almost certainly heard more albums than anyone in history. When I read any other critic (not to mention outspoken laymen), my response is "Is that your opinion based on the 6 albums you've heard?" This book is the definitive work on the music of the 1990's. Oh no. Did he give OK Computer a B-? And What's The Story Morning Glory only got an honorable mention? And Anthology 2 got a dud? Yes. Have you heard Iris Dement: My Life? D J Shadow: Entroducing... D J Shadow? Freedy Johnston: Can You Fly? The Magnetic Fields: 69 Love Songs? Have you heard The Rolling Stones: Exile On Main Street? Every critic panned it when it came out except one.

              Book Description

              "Cultural hegemony theory" is a branch of political sociology that concerns the way in which political sociology is transmitted. Democracy Upside Down weaves together, for the first time, the central arguments and the most important threads of empirical work on the theory of cultural hegemony in the U.S. Whereas most research on political socialization concludes that it is unclear exactly where the most cogent influences on political learning lie, this volume focuses upon the "top-down" process of political learning: the extent to which elites can impose their ideology on masses by domination of various sources of political ideas. In addition, liberalism-or the ideology of elites according to hegemony theory-and the socializing agents through which it can be imposed is discussed.

              5 out of 5 stars Workers Comp Injury? You need to have this book!.......2004-08-29

              I bought this book when I was first injured after getting so frustrated at not being able to get answers to my questions anywhere else. I searched the internet, talked to people, but I just kept going in circles. Then I discovered this book. It saved me. I have since hired a lawyer, however, you will feel more empowered and in control if you understand the process and the terminology. Plus, insurance companies try to "get away" with some things, assuming the average person won't know their workers comp rights. This book has saved me several times in that instance. (For example, they made doctor's appointments for me, sent me the info on their legal letterhead saying I was required to go to that particular doctor. Since I knew my rights from reading the book, I challenged them and didn't have to go to their doctor. Basically, I think they try these tactics just because most people aren't informed, and will just do what they say) It's so important to understand what is happening with your case, and what your rights are. I've been injured for four years, and find I research something in this book at least once a week. If you have a workers comp injury, you shouldn't be without this book! (Also, Nolo puts out a great book on filing for social security disability too) Best of luck to you!

              5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for all parties.......2004-02-12

              The average consumer has no idea of the laws and the rights he has when faced with an on the job injury.

              This book is easy to read and understand. I am a nurse case manager for workers comp injuries and found this book extremely helpful. I encourage all my clients to obtain this book even if they have a lawyer. It gives them a solid knowledge base when the docs, attorneys and insurance people are throwing terms around.

              It is well organized and follows a normal sequence of events. It was written by an attorney who handles workers comp cases.

              I highly recommend this book.

              5 out of 5 stars Best info. to help you "right the wrong" of W/C claims.......1999-03-14

              This book has so much vitually important information for the employee going through a worker's comp situation. It covers all from the begining to the end. THIS BOOK WILL GIVE YOU THE KNOWLEDGE NEEDED TO FIGHT FOR YOUR LAWFUL RIGHTS -- DO NOT GIVE IN OR GIVE UP -- WITH THIS BOOK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND AND REALIZE THAT THE FIGHTERS ARE THE ONES THAT RECEIVE WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY/LAWFULLY INTITLED TO THEN.

              KEEP FIGHTING AND BELIEVING THAT 'JUSTIFICATION FOR EMPLOYEER'S WRONG DOING CAN BE ACHIEVED.

              READ THIS BOOK AND YOU WILL UNDERSTAND!!!

              4 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the basic rights of an injured worker........1998-07-08

              As a Workers' Compensation practitioner, this is the book that I recommend to all the aquaintances that ask for free advice. I also tend to recommend it to large companies that operate in CA and other states, because it gives the law and requirements in terms that a high school graduate can understand.

              There is more emphasis in this book on answers and "by the number" processes than legal precedent or analysis, which I find easier to follow for the lay person. Chris Ball also has a number of forms included with simple completion directions.

              If someone is looking for an overview with more legal justification or reference to statutes, the California Workers' Compensation Handbook is an excellent choice. This book by Stanford Herlick is updated every year, and has shorter sections with less hand-holding.

              I think that the Herlick paperback is the reference source of choice for the attorney or paralegal to carry in the car or briefcase for quick review of issues and solutions.

                    5 out of 5 stars Easy and Straighforward.......2004-06-10

                    This book makes worker's compensation lw easy. I did not know anything about what I was entitled to, but this book laid it out for me in easy to understand terms and descriptions. It was not filled with the legal mumbo jumbo of some of the other books, and this is what I apprecated about the book. Yes it is easy and simple to read, but this is what I want and needed as an injured workr unaware of the laws and not very "law" savvy. Anyone could read this book and understnd it and get invaluable nkowledge about their rights. Unfortunately, though, if you were injured recently ithin the last year, it does not have any of the recent updates.

                    2 out of 5 stars Written for Kindegarteners.......2004-01-06

                    And about as useful as a coloring book. "Take Charge of Your Workers' Compensation Claim" by Christopher A. Ball is a much better book with lot's of information and helpful worksheets etc. I suppose if this is the only book you can find, it might be a little helpful. Unfortunately, there are no pearls of wisdom here. Sorry Ava. The text is very simple, the content is barely more than what common sense will tell you. As I mentioned, there are other books that really have great info. I appreciate the sentiment here, but the author ought to look at competitive books and write a new edition with some meat.

                    5 out of 5 stars Clear and to the point.......2002-04-26

                    This book is easy to read and it writen in "plain" english. I finaly understand what and how some of the Workers' Comp laws work and was very pleased. I recommend this book to anybody who is in the workers' comp system and is trying to understand the law and how to go about it.

                    5 out of 5 stars Very helpful and easy to use.......2001-01-17

                    This book made it very easy to understand all the rules regarding workers comp. without all the confusing legalese found in the other books I tried. The forms included with the book came in very handy and made the whole process much easier than I expected. The tips and recommendations provided throughout the book are great! Before I read this book, I thought that I had no rights as an injured worker, now I know that I do have many and I know how to use access them.

                    5 out of 5 stars I now understand my rights as an injured worker.......2000-11-24

                    I have purchased other books written about worker's compensation and I have to say that "Facts Every Injured Worker Should Know" is definitely more comprehensive and detailed than all the others. This book covers everything about California's worker's compensation system, and is written in very simple easy to understand terms- two thumbs up! After reading this book, I now understand my rights as an injured worker.
