| "Your book [Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media] is one of the most complete books on color that I've ever seen. I used to work in a library and collected books for the art department, so I've seen many of them. It's nice to have it all under one cover! Thanks for going to all the work to put it together. Ruth Ann Molyneaux, Rockford, IL |
| "I just bought your Dramatic Depth in Painting DVD and loved it! Thank you so much for sharing all your experience and knowledge. Its a fun DVD and has inspired me to paint. I decided after 30 years in commercial real estate to pursue my passion for creating and put together a website. Your explanation for variations in paint colors was so enlightening and made perfect sense. Thank you again for a wonderful DVD." Deborah Graffuis |
| "Just looked at your dvd (Dramatic Depth in Painting) where you do three paintings with three colored gessos....so cool...your work resonates with me...your color sense just makes so much....well .....sense....will be playing with your theories...what fun... While the light in FLA is definitely different than the light here on the eastern shore of Maryland, the application of your ideas still apply....love it." Pegret Harrison, Maryland |
"It's a rainy day here in central California but for me it has been a warm-stimulating-exciting day because I just watched your DVD Landscape Oil Painting on Red Ground. Thank you for the challenge to learn your process. I'm having an energizing and loosing up experience following along with your landscape DVD - next the water DVD." |
| "Powercolor should be required reading for all of your workshop participants. I ordered it when I registered for the course months ago simply to get a feel for your methods and concepts. I can say that though through the years I have accumulated a small library of books on all aspects of art theory, instruction, history, etc, your book has been the most validating and instructive that I've ever studied. As a self taught landscape artist I've sometimes struggled with the confidence to "create something dramatic from an ordinary scene". From beginning to end Powercolor provided and reinforced a comprehensive, highly engaging academic, aesthetic, instructional tool. I found myself smiling and nodding throughout the reading. It also motivated me to refine and retool much of my thinking, and to make some immediate changes to what I was doing, and the materials I was using to do it. I don't know if you have any other projects in the works, but Powecolor is for me the last word regarding my studio practice. I think any serious artist, be they amateur or professional, should thoroughly digest Powercolor, and refer back to it periodically as a reference and inspiration." Jack Hamrick, Columbia, South Carolina |

| "The books (Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media and Painters' Guide and Color Manual - Strategies for All Media) arrived this afternoon. I am still in the WOW phase of my first canvas using the red ground with my new Holbein paints. My curmudgeon color blind husband saw my work in progress and said 'Oh my God, that's beautiful'. This is fun." Kristine Anderson, Montana |
DVD Color Moves - Painting Water with Oils: "Caroline will teach you everything you've ever wanted (or needed) to know about color theory and ways to make your hues come alive." |
| "I bought your DVD (Color Moves - Painting Water with Oils) and started watching it yesterday... I love it! I already ordered my colored gesso and I can't wait to try your techniques! It's very informative and simple for someone like me that paints, but has had no formal training. I Can't wait for our next one!" Danielle Chavez, Delaware |
| DVD Color Moves - Painting Water with Oils: "It is wonderful. To actually see your process from beginning to end is inspiring! I have been having so much fun painting." Rita Pacheco, California |
| "I am writing to tell you how much I enjoyed and learned from your DVD Color Moves - Painting Water with Oils. I'm a developing artist and good instruction is invaluable to me. Your tutorials are wonderful; you're clear about what you're doing and why, which not every painter is able to impart. I felt like I learned a really good foundation for any type of painting." Marla Laubisch |
Book: Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media: "Many books claim the depiction of light is an artist's most powerful tool for capturing mood or expressing deep emotion. Jasper, a regular exhibitor in juried shows around the world whose paintings are held in public and private collections across the United States, wisely avoids such splashy generalizations and states plainly that color is fundamental to the visual arts - a universal means of communication that can be studied in contexts like nature, physics, psychology, physiology, chemistry, aesthetics, history, and culture. Her comprehensive survey discusses the physiology of the eye, the color wheel, various types of color contrast (temperature, intensity, and value), how the physical characteristics of each medium affect the use and appearance of color, and ho artists have used color throughout history. The ten very useful "In the Studio" sections feature the color theories of different contemporary artists - who, naturally, don't always agree. This finest in-depth manual for public libraries is highly recommended." |
| "Be bold. Stuck in a color rut? In her book Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media, author Caroline Jasper empowers artists t do more with their use o color - invigorating the palette and revitalizing paint choices. Jasper starts with the basics (What exactly is color, anyway?), examining physiological characteristics as well as color theories and physics. The payoff: By the end of the book you'll be equipped with all the knowledge you need to choose a palette to best express your artistic vision" The Artists' Magazine |

| "I recently purchased your book Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media at our local Barnes and Nobles.

Tom Childers, North Carolina |
| "Powercolor - Master Color Concepts for All Media: My first art book. I Recently started painting. I seem to squelch myself with technique in anything I do. I wanted painting to be different. Since I began, I didn't read or even use the internet for anything art related. This weekend I got some art supplies and decided to peruse a couple books. Yours really hit the mark. The conceptual approach versus technique was just perfect for e. I also appreciate the time and effort in culling from other artists. I think you did a great job getting balanced and contrasting views and motivations. I saw an aspect of humility too and admiration of your colleagues. That's really cool." Keith Vetter |
