An example of the type of step study that will be featured in my new book, "Mondays with Camille" and Everything Else you Didn't Learn in Art School about Color," due out in late November 2013.

This is one of my favorite spots to paint — our state-of-art, combination wetlands/water recycling facility in Petaluma, CA. Wetlands are a great subject to paint repeatedly because they are always changing.

This was a very hazy morning, so I am striving to paint the color of the air. In this scene, the air was very soft pink.

Step One: I overcolor at first with the intention to eventually add color to modify the first color notes I lay in.
Picture
Step Two: As I say to my students, you can tame a stallion, but you can't bring a dead horse back to life.
Picture
Step Three: The dead horse could have been a sky too dark and too blue.

I love your work and amazing color sense along with your ability to simplify. I would love to get your book but I have never seen a "how to" art book for more than $30, where does that $175 come from, surely this is a typo, no?

George, The price is $175 ($150 to my students). I did not get this book produced in China but I had it done by a local publisher in Berkeley, CA. Design costs alone were $8000. I had editor and production costs as well as the 20 years of experience that went into producing and writing this book.
