Features: First of all, I would like to state that this is not a book or textbook about painting color techniques. It should be a teaching material or book that allows everyone to experience the world, experience themselves, and experience the perfection and development of their personality through color. Because I want every person who reads this book, every student who takes this course, to realize: from a perspective that transcends the discipline of fine arts and painting techniques, to understand color, recognize color, and use color, is how interesting and how important it is for each of us. Art education, especially basic education, is not technical skill education, nor is it an industry technical education. Although color teaching also has its own methods and rules, these methods and rules are more targeted at students' "eyes" rather than their "hands" because only with "high eyesight" can we avoid "low hands." I hope that in the process of learning color and art, everyone can use more fun to alleviate too much boredom. – Author's words
