      Джеймс Гарни – известный писатель и художник, автор бесподобных иллюстраций и знаменитой книги «Динотопия» о фантастическом мире, где люди и динозавры сосуществуют на равных. Великолепные иллюстрации из известной книги Джеймса Гарни «Динотопия» в данном пособии играют роль поясняющего материала. Подробные разъяснения об особенностях восприятия и воспроизведения цвета и света, приведенные в издании, основаны на материале лекций, которые Гарни читает начинающим художникам. Художник делится опытом с начинающими и профессиональными художниками, максимально облегчая вход в тему изображения освещения и игры цвета, благодаря которым картина оживает. В книге есть алфавитный указатель и глоссарий, которые помогут освоиться в живописи даже тем, кто впервые задумался над тем, почему одни изображения в книгах выглядят плоскими и неинтересными, а другие наполнены жизнью, даже если художник использует минимум цветов в своей волшебной палитре. Автор охватил множество вариантов освещения, затронул проблемы передачи спектра цветов, и при этом все сведения изложил доступно и кратко.

      Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
