Achieving the perfect colour is what every artist strives for and this guide shows how to do it. It is a practical reference for artists, from absolute beginners to the more accomplished. Colour is discussed in the context of the whole range of media - traditional oil paints, water mixable oils and alkyd colours; watercolours, gouache, inks; soft pastel, oil pastel and paintsticks; and acrylics and egg tempera. The book breaks down into three sections: the first looks at how we see colour and tone and how we have to adapt to what we see in order to paint it. The second section shows a basic palette for each type of paint that would be a sufficient starting point for any artist. The uses, types and characteristics of each medium are explained. The third part of the book looks in depth at 36 popular colours in the artist's palette. For every colour there is a mixing chart (showing the colours that can be achieved when it is mixed with 8 other major colours), with detailed notes, a short account of its origins, a look at its properties and a painting showing key mixes of that colour in use.

A professional artist uses his own and others' work to teach painters how to master the all-important aspect of light-how the eye perceives it and how to duplicate its effects. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds of images in six of the most popular media, from oil paint to egg tempera, this essential course demonstrates how to capture the glare of sun on water, the play of shadow on the human form, the soft glow of twilight, and the translucency of flowers. There's a thorough, easy-to-follow explanation of the key concept of "tonal control," and hands-on instruction that comes complete with specialized diagrams (including color wheels, tonal scales, and color temperature charts), technical tips, and inspiring creative ideas.

Without texture, paintings look dull and lifeless, but creating texture takes knowledge and practice to perfect. It can be applied two ways; physical texture, which comes from layering paint or adding sand, gels or plaster; and implied texture, which utilizes the skillful application of color to fool the eye. In this illustrated guide, both methods are taught, with separate chapters addressing landscapes, seascapes, still life and portrait paintings. Two hundred color photographs show textures being applied through knives, brushes, plastic wrap, sponges, and other objects--even a toothbrush--accompanied by detailed reasoning behind the technical instructions for each action.

For many artists, a special photograph sometimes calls out to be translated into a painting. What the photo captured in an instant, you can transform into your own lasting personal statement as you master every stage from original photos to finished painting. Enhance composition, colors, and forms. Crop for close-ups. Add or eliminate features. Alter light and color. Combine the best of several photos. Various media get special treatments—oil, watercolor, pastel, gouache, acrylic, color pencils, egg tempera. So do a range of subjects, including landscapes, seascapes, portraits, animal studies—as well as moods from intimate to historic, romantic to rugged.
