## Description

The Anatomy of Colour: The Story of Heritage Paints and Pigments : Baty, Patrick: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: Superb book. - Superb book. Once you start reading it you may realise you know more than you think you do! It is full of the bits of information that old painters told me when I started work, things that they learnt when they started work some ninety years ago, like how to make brilliant white paint. A couple of years ago I asked the ladies in the local Dulux paint store to look up the mix for brilliant white paint on the paint mixer computer to settle an argument, I bet there are not many people who know the correct mix. This book explains why one of the colours added to the mix is black, there are others!
Review: Prompt delivery - This great book was delivered promptly
