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 Doesn’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

James Gurney's series of illustrated fantasy adventure stories, beginning with 1992's Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time, produced a generation raised on Gurney's highly realistic paintings of an entirely unreal subject.... Still it was no surprise to the author-artist-blogger and his long-time publisher Andrews McMeel when his recently released second volume of art instruction, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter, became a bestseller for AMP immediately  upon its release in December 2010, selling out its 10,000-copy run in just two months.  (Mark Schulz, Publishers Weekly)

Dinotopia author and plein-air painter Gurney offers a practical, well-organized, and informative handbook for artists of all levels.  (Chronogram Magazine)

This is a terrific book, highly recommended not only for young artists but anyone with an interest in traditional art technique.  (Karen Haber, Locus)

网友对Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter的评论

在书店买了中文的 感觉翻译不太妙，于是买了这本英文版。果然英文没白学。网上自学光和色彩的时候知识点都是很散的，搞得一知半解 ，这本把我以前所知道的所有光影的知识串联了一遍，非常好 ，就像封底的评语医院： i wish i had this book in college。如果在大学时就有这本书就好了！赞

久闻此书大名，之前看过网络翻译版本， 翻译的很好 ，但是毕竟是电子的， 没有拿在手里的舒服，书里的每一幅画都印刷的很精致。作为一个希望学习无论是传统绘画还是数字绘画的学生，这本书所讲的也许是大学四年都学不到但是却真正能提高画面效果的知识。

之前送到的有点破损，已经退换。亚马逊服务好评，但运输过程的包装希望在结实些，这样给双方都节省成本。

书很好 包裹也太差了吧 送来时下大雨 就一层塑料袋包着 还破了 湿了一点点

不管是从印刷还是内容都无可挑剔啊，内容的文字不多，英文不会太影响阅读，很好的书！

这本书应该不需要多做介绍了，公认的给力。
但是我第一次收到的书封面擦花就不说了，竟然内页的每一页都沾满指纹或翻页折痕
虽然春节将近，还是无奈的换了一本，换的书因为是塑料袋简装，书页多有撞凹的地方，唉
看着是新书，内里也有些不明折痕，好在大多都不在插画里，封面也滑溜溜的，算是换到本好的了吧
运气不是我的特长，可以说在这买外文书的经历，几乎没有一次不是提心吊胆的，就说这么多。

书本印刷质量很好，虽然是英文版，读起来不会吃力，容易理解

还不错，对颜色和光讲解挺详细，不过英语最好有比较好的基础，不然老是翻字典而且对有些句子理解可能不是很到位，最好是有一定美术基础的，这样子理解得比较好
