By splitting white light, Newton identified the visible range of colours, or the rainbow spectrum. In Opticks, he built a colour system around his findings, and he visualised this system in a circular shape, making it one of the first printed colour wheels. The influence of Newton and his followers, combined with the invention of many new pigments as well as watercolours in moist cake form, had made painting with colour an exciting occupation not just for serious artists but also for a much wider audience. The colour revolution had begun.'\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"book-contributors\"\u003e\n  \u003cp class=\"contributor-item\"\u003e\n    \u003cspan class=\"contributor-role\"\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\n    \u003ca href=\"\/search?q=Author+Alexandra+Loske\" class=\"contributor-link\"\u003eAlexandra Loske\u003c\/a\u003e\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alexandra Loske","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47376977035427,"sku":"9781781573990","price":795.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/7836\/3555\/files\/img_9781781573990_5ce7b1db-2978-4644-881e-b7846ca89e1c.jpg?v=1776586926","url":"https:\/\/graffitibooks.co.za\/products\/9781781573990","provider":"Graffiti Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
