Influenced by her classical art training, designer and artist Kimberly Collins Jermain makes color theory simple and understandable for the everyday reader.
Color is one of Mother Nature's most elegant ideas and the most powerful visual tool to inspire human response. 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 interior spaces can be seen and understood best right outside your back door.
Nature of Color is a field guide for exploring color theory on hikes, beach walks, while gardening, or when exercising outdoors. Jermain's simple approach to color theory 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. It invites artists, interior designers, and anyone who wants to better understand hues to view color outside of the pages rather than overwhelming with boring illustrations and examples. Because after all, color is the most honest when seen in person and in its natural environment.
As you joyfully explore and experience color outdoors 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.
