I have artists watercolours in half pans which I like. I would like to learn about colour and I am considering doing your course."The Artists Guide to the Finest Watercolours" and "The Paint SelectionWorkbook for Watercolours" would be more useful or do I get this info in the course. I don't want to buy the course and then find I have to buy a palette and lots of other things and at this point I don't necessarily want to use tubes. I want to be able to paint outside quickly as well and yet I do want to learn about colour and what I have read from the manufacturers seems very confusing. Please advise.
It depends very much on what you actually want to learn about. The books that you mention will help you to decide which actual colours to purchase, as long as the pigments are given on the pan, (which is not always the case). If you wish to learn about colour mixing we have several courses to choose from. As with all of our courses we identify the colour -type and it is up to you which make or makes of paint to use. We are here primarily to teach, not to sell paints.
We do not include a palette with each course as many already posses one and others, such as yourself, would not need one. A printed, laminated practice palette is included with each course for general guidance. The same comments would apply to our Colour Harmony Course.
