Internationally renowned artist and best selling author Stephen Quiller shows readers how to discover their own personal "color sense" in Color Choices, a book that offers readers a fresh perspective on perfecting their own color styles.

With the help of his own "Quiller Wheel," a special foldout wheel featuring 68 precisely placed colors, the author shows artists how they can develop their own unique color blends. First, Quiller demonstrates how to use the wheel to interpret color relationships and mix colors more clearly. Then he explains, step by step, how to develop five structured color schemes, apply underlays and overlays, and use color in striking, unusual ways. This book will bring out every artist's unique sense of color whether he or she works in oil, watercolor, acrylics, gouache, or casein.

Stephen Quiller graduated from Colorado State University and has been painting full-time in water media since 1972. His paintings are represented in many corporate, public, and private collections nationwide. Quiller has produced six books published by Watson-Guptill: With Barbara Whipple he coauthored Water Media Techniques and Water Media: Processes and Possibilities; Color Choices; Acrylic Painting Techniques; Painter's Guide to Color; and Water Media Painting with Stephen Quiller. Quiller conducts artist workshops throughout North America each year, and he has made a number of DVDs on water media and color, produced by Crystal Productions.

He lives with his wife, Marta, and their two children, Christopher and Allison, in Creede, Colorado. His work is available at the Quiller Gallery in Creede and at the Mission Gallery in Taos, New Mexico.
