Millions of people have learned to draw using the methods of Dr. Betty Edwards's bestseller The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Now, much as artists progress from drawing to painting, Edwards moves from black-and-white into color. This new guide distills the enormous existing knowledge about color theory into a practical method of working with color to produce harmonious combinations.
Using techniques tested and honed in her five-day intensive color workshops, Edwards provides a basic understanding of how to see color, how to use it, and-for those involved in art, painting, or design-how to mix and combine hues. Including more than 125 color images and exercises that move from simple to challenging, this volume explains how to:
- see what is really there rather than what you "know" in your mind about colored objects
- perceive how light affects color, and how colors affect one another
- manipulate hue, value, and intensity of color and transform colors into their opposites
- balance color in still-life, landscape, figure, and portrait painting
- understand the psychology of color
- harmonize color in your surroundings
While we recognize and treasure the beautiful use of color, reproducing what we see can be a challenge. Accessibly unweaving color's complexity, this must-have primer is destined to be an instant classic.
ALL ABOUT COLOUR
| Customer Rating: | Hi,
This book explains everything about colour. Most important thing is it teaches you to identify and match colour with value.
Entire colour wheel is simplified so one can easily remember it.
This is best book of Colour I have ever read. |
A great book for understanding color
| Customer Rating: | | I had started to paint before seeing this book and was really frustrated of the results. Then I found this book and went through the exercises and eventually I understood where I went wrong. The explanations are clear and every exercise gets you one stage ahead in the way of "seeing" colors. I was so encouraged by this book that I ordered the one about drawing. |
