Light and colour

There are two fundamental tools in the life and obsession of any artist: light and colour. This book does not pretend to offer only recipes on how to mix colours, nor does it limit itself to describing lighting techniques. Este libro, eso sí, contesta las preguntas más frecuentes que se hacen los artistas: ¿Qué pasa con los colores del cielo durante la puesta de sol?, ¿cómo varían los colores según la distancia?, How do we make a shape look three-dimensional?
A book written with art professionals of all types in mind, those interested in the traditional realist approach as well as those curious about the structures and mysteries of the visual world.
Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plein air painter and scientific illustrator, and shares a wealth of rigorous information about such important tools. A handbook for traditional and digital artists of all levels, this guide bridges the great gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge. Whether you work with paints or pixels, whether you use reality or imagination, either way, this will be one of your inevitable references to the essence and fundamentals of light and colour.
