Product Description
"I started to get comments on the glow, the color and the life my paintings had... I suddenly realized I didn't mix colors--I mingled them. It was an epiphany." Popular workshop instructor Anne Abgott shares all the tips, techniques and color choices behind her remarkable paintings filled with color and light. Make the most of both the "water" and the "color" of this exciting medium by directly mingling color on paper! In sixteen step-by-step painting demonstrations she teaches you the secrets to achieving beautiful glowing color and rich, dynamic shadows. You'll find advice on: - Which paints mingle and which ones don't
- Flooding the paper with pigment to flood it with light
- Creating great compositions from reference photos
- How to create dramatic, colorful shadows
- Secrets to mingling glowing yellows, passionate reds, glorious greens, beautiful blues, dazzling violets and sparkling grays (even silver!)
See for yourself. Be more daring. Express your creativity using Anne's fast and fun mingling techniques--fill your paintings with color and light!

 Daring Color September 24, 2008

I love the way she combines color - "color mingling". Her colors are transparent yet intense. There is much attention to shadows and compostion that is quite helpful. Get her book; you'll love it.
 Good ideas June 2, 2008
This book has some good ideas and great use of color. Pretty instructional for a veteran "hobby" watercolorist.
"Daring Colors" by Anne Abgott March 28, 2008

I think "Daring Colors" by Anne Abgott is a fantastic book! It gives me those shortcuts I've always been thinking about. Instead of painting tons of layers, you can mingle your paints on the paper and get the same or even better results! Awesome book! I am drooling all over it! Very well written. It guides you how to achieve very vibrant and realistic paintings without investing many hours, so you can enjoy your finished product much sooner. One of my favorite books on watercolors.
