A researched study on two of art's most fundamental themes Color & Light bridges the gap between abstract theory & practical knowledge. Beginning with a survey of underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color & light the book examines how light reveals form the properties of color & pigments & the wide variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney cuts though the confusing & contradictory dogma about color testing it in the light of science & observation. A glossary pigment index & bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensable 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 & was ranked the 1 Bestseller on the Amazon list for art instruction.
