Colour
Author: François Delamare
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780500301029
Category : Color
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Colour is all around us; we take it for granted as a naturally occurring element of all things. Yet colours are also manufactured, and the science of pigments, hues and dyes has an ancient and fascinating history. This book surveys the story of dyes and pigments, the invention of new colours and the industries that were fuelled by them. What were the colours of ancient Egypt? What did its artists use to paint their magnificent frescoes? Where do indigo and ochre come from? Why is purple the colour of royalty? What are pastels? How many colours are there? Why do we dye our food? Who invented ink? What is the symbolism of yellow? From cerise to crimson, from puce to periwinkle, this book is as rich, varied and delightful as a box of crayons.

Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green

ISBN: 9780958789196
Category : Color
Languages : en
Pages : 120
Book Description
For more than 200 years the world has accepted that red, yellow and blue - the artists primaries - give new colours when mised. And for more than 200 years artists have been struggling to mix colours on this basis. In this exciting new book, Michael Wilcox offers a total reassessment of the principles underlying colour mixing. It is the first major break-away from the traditional and limited concepts that have caused painters and others who work with colour so many problems. Back Cover.

Color and Light
Author: James Gurney
Publisher: Andrews McMeel Publishing
ISBN: 0740797719
Category : Art
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
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.
