Donald Kaufman, termed "Americas Master Colorist" by Connoisseur, and his coauthor and partner, Taffy Dahl, believe that the rooms we live in can be colored to produce the same enriching atmosphere we experience in nature. Employing some of the same traditional techniques artists have used over the ^centuries, the authors bring the harmony and il^riety of natural color indoors, creating hues with depth and luminosity.
Color: Natural Palettes for Painted Rooms is an essential book for everyone planning to paint the interior of their homes.
