A good start to learn watercolor mixing for beginners.

Written in an easy-to-read manner, this book provides a good start for watercolor beginners. The book covers basics in watercolor mixing, from the three primary, secondary, to the six intermediate colors. Concepts of warm, cool, and complement colors are discussed and demonstrated. Simple exercises that are easy for beginners to follow include (but not limit to) painting with primary, cool, warm, and neutral colors (distinguished by color temperature), as well as painting with different color groups (distinguished by tones and values).This book suits beginners who look for a rather suffice but not in-depth coverage of some of the basic aspects in watercolor mixing. Intermediate and advanced watercolorists certainly can live without it.
