Once you begin to understand and use the principles taught in this book, you can consciously incorporate them into your work. You’ll learn to make your paintings interesting through color harmony, repetition, balance, and dominance, but at the same time create visual appeal through variety, contrast, and gradation.Tony Couch’s Keys to Successful Painting breaks down the fundamentals of painting design.
