Description
Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter is a comprehensive study on two fundamental themes in art: color and light. James Gurney, a renowned artist and author, explores how light reveals form and the properties of color and pigments, providing a clear understanding of the artistic process.
Through a survey of underappreciated masters and practical knowledge, Gurney cuts through the confusing dogma about color, testing it in the light of science and observation. The book includes a glossary, pigment index, and bibliography, making it an indispensable tool for any artist.
With its unique blend of artistic observation and scientific explanation, Color and Light is a valuable resource for artists of all levels, from beginners to experienced practitioners.
