Paint & Colour Mixing by Arthur Seymour Jennings
QR code
"Paint & Colour Mixing" by Arthur Seymour Jennings is a practical handbook for painters, decorators, and anyone interested in the art of mixing colors, likely written in the early 20th century. The book claims to directly and efficiently provide practical applications of color mixing without delving deeply into theoretical aspects, aiming instead to serve as a useful guide for those who do not wish to study color theory in depth. Jennings organizes
the content into various chapters that address the composition of paints, methods for mixing colors, and recipes for creating a range of different hues. The beginning of this handbook introduces the essential components of paint, explaining that paint consists of pigments, oil, turpentine, and driers, while outlining the purpose of paint in both preserving surfaces and providing decorative color. Jennings emphasizes the importance of using quality materials and provides guidelines for mixing specific colors to achieve desired shades, as well as practical tips for testing color mixtures. The text underscores the variability and subjectivity of color names and mixtures, suggesting that this book will act as a resource for those needing practical guidance in color mixing and the nuances involved in preparing paints for various applications.
