After teaching classical art and color theory for over 35 years\, Kimberly Collins Jermain believes the visual skills we need to create art and to design the finish of architecture can be seen and understood best right outside your back door. \nNature of Color is a field guide for exploring color principles on hikes\, beach walks\, while gardening\, or when exercising outside. Jermain’s simple approach to color will train your perceptions and give you the tools you need to solve everyday problems and create with color-confidence. Unlike most color theory texts\, Nature of Color is an active practice of outdoor adventure. As you joyfully explore and experience sunlit hues with Nature of Color\, you will understand the importance of keeping nature’s exquisite lessons in mind as we navigate and share our natural world. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nNature of Color offers a fresh\, simple hands on approach to color theory\, blending artistic exploration with the beauty of the natural world. Perfect for art and nature lovers alike\, this book transforms outdoor adventures into creative color experiences.\n\n\nThe book is filled with practical exercises that can be done on hikes\, beach walks\, or in your own backyard\, making it a great resource for those looking to integrate creativity into their daily lives. \n\n\nKimberly Jermain’s expert guidance helps readers develop a deeper understanding of color\, empowering them to use hue confidently in art\, design\, and everyday life. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Let nature inspire your interest in the study of color”
