Do read this book if you can - A Child's Introduction to Art : The world's greatest paintings and sculptures (https://www.amazon.com/Childs-Introduction-Art-Paintings-Sculptures/dp/1579129560)
This book is not only for children. It gives an excellent introduction to some of the World Famous Painters - their life, their work, what to appreciate in their paintings etc.
One section that got me interested is Let's Talk Color (you may need to zoom in to read through it entirely):
It provides an excellent introduction to the different colours, their types, properties and relationship with each other.
Understanding the colour wheel is the first step in any painting class and guides one to make appropriate colour choices. Colours do affect emotional responses and create a mood. So be aware and make the right combination of colours! :)
