A coloring book by ingectar-e that teaches color schemes through fairy tale pictures. Every coloring page comes with a full-color sample, so you can follow its palette and try colors and combinations you have not used before. The pictures show flowers and animals based on well-known tales from Japan and around the world.
The five chapters cover princess tales (Thumbelina, Snow White, Cinderella, The Little Mermaid, Rapunzel, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast), animal tales (The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats, The Town Musicians of Bremen, Puss in Boots, The Three Bears), girls' tales (Little Red Riding Hood, Alice in Wonderland, The Wizard of Oz, Hansel and Gretel, The Wild Swans), boys' tales (Jack and the Beanstalk, The North Wind and the Sun, Peter Pan, The Golden Goose) and Japanese tales such as Kaguya-hime, Momotaro, Urashima Taro, Tsuru no Ongaeshi, and Orihime and Hikoboshi.
The book also explains color basics such as hue, saturation, brightness and tone. Other pages cover how to choose colors and set a color image, color balance, suggested palettes by theme, and columns on seasonal colors, accent colors, warm and cool colors, and area ratio. There is a guide to choosing colored pencils as well.
