The Color Meditation Deck is an interesting and information dense tutorial on color theory with inspiration prompts by Lisa Solomon. Released 12th July 2022 by Roost Books, it's 110 pages in card format.
This is such a calm and meditative book. The author's voice is gentle, knowledgeable, and encouraging. The prompts are full of reference theory with thorough illustrations on basic groundwork: tint, shade, palettes, and color schemes. There is nothing stress inducing to be found here and I found the lack of direct expectations very freeing and, honestly, fun.
I received an eARC for review, so it's not possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the individual card format, but the information and color theory contained in the book is helpful and solid. It's not full of "woo woo" and artists who are less interested in meditation than color theory will still find this a useful resource.
Four stars. It would make a good candidate for acquisition for maker's spaces, group studio, or the artist's private studio.
Disclosure: I received an ARC at no cost from the author/publisher for review purposes.
