A handy little book but beware the author uses Windsor & Newton paints so finding an equivalent in another brand is the only caveat. A useful way to learn how each of your watercolour paints interacts with another.
The process could be applied to any brand of paint.

I am at a point now where a book of only swatches is not as interesting as it was earlier in my painting education. There are no examples of any of the colors being used. The swatches are very well done and it does show how mixing colors works.
