From New York Times best-selling author of the Dinotopia series,
James Gurney, comes a carefully crafted and researched study on
color and light in paintings. This art instruction book will
accompany the acclaimed Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What
Doesna (TM)t Exist.
James Gurney, "New York Times" best-selling author and artist of
the Dinotopia series, follows "Imaginative Realism" with his second
art-instruction book, "Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist
Painter." A researched study on two of art's most fundamental
themes, "Color and Light" bridges the gap between abstract theory
and practical knowledge. Beginning with a survey of
underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color and light,
the book examines how light reveals form, the properties of color
and pigments, and the wide variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney
cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about color,
testing it in the light of science and observation. A glossary,
pigment index, and bibliography complete what will ultimately
become an indispensible tool for any artist.
This book is the second in a series based on his blog,
gurneyjourney.com. His first in the series, "Imaginative Realism,"
was widely acclaimed in the fantastical art world, and was ranked
the #1 Bestseller on the Amazon list for art instruction.
"James Gurney's new book, "Color and Light," cleverly bridges the
gap between artistic observation and scientific explanation. Not
only does he eloquently describe all the effects of color and light
an artist might encounter, but he thrills us with his striking
paintings in the process." --Armand Cabrera, Artist
