Color and Light – A Guide for the Realist Painter

简介 Intro

<Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter>—— James Gurney

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

读者评论 Readers\’ Comments

对于游戏原画师非常实用，非常系统和扎实的讲解了传统手绘里面，如何运用光和色彩知识进行绘画，示范的例图也很贴切。建议配合《视觉艺术用光》一起服用。

牛逼，不说别的，作者考据和发散学习的心态是一个艺术家应该具有的品质

这书太厉害了！！（看着叫人很有画画的欲望）

这书就不用说了，经典中的经典。

绝对经典，对于光，色彩的书，我还推荐LIGHTING FOR VISUAL ARTIST。
