Das Buch ist in vier Kapitel eingeteilt: Farbtheorie, Farbmischrezepte, Farbgebung für Porträts und das Register der Farbezeichnungen. Basis sind die drei Primärfarben Gelb, Rot, Blau. Aus ihnen werden alle anderen Farbtöne gemischt. Aufhellen oder abdunkeln lassen sich die Farben mit Weiß und Schwarz. Die Angaben für die Farbmischungen gelten sowohl für Öl- als auch Acrylfarben. Mit der Farbmischkarte am Ende des Buches können die angegebenen Farbmengen für jede Farbmischung genau abgemessen werden. Jedes Farbkästchen entspricht einem Mengenanteil, die Farbe wird aus der Tube direkt auf die Karte gedrückt. Deshalb sind alle Seiten folienkaschiert und machen es so zu einem idealen Arbeitsbuch.
