A theory of tone relations, an instrument of expression by Denman Waldo Ross. Ross presents a theoretical treatise on tone relations in painting which culminates in a sophisticated palette arrangement meant to be of practical use to realist painters. In this book Ross demonstrates how to mix, arrange and apply oil paints with precision according to a series of diagrams which organize the color wheel into the nine steps of the Ross scale. Aside from organizing the the spectral colors into specific tonal scales, the key to this palette is how he manages the colorful grays using complimentary colors to precisely control these subtle colors.
