Synopsis
Explains how to make use of colour in oil, acrylic and watercolour painting. Colour theories are outlined, but the main emphasis is on the way contemporary artists actually use colour. The book's thesis is that once artists have become acquainted with fundamental colour principles, they can begin to have fun with colour and play with it spontaneously. A number of approaches to colour are set forth as a guide, including building a picture with colour blocks, enriching colour with shadows, heightening colour intensity, achieving freshness with broken colour, painting with sunlight, experimenting with abstract colour systems, fantasizing with colour and creating space with colour. Each of the sections of this book are illustrated by the work of artists of historical importance as well as by the work of contemporary artists. There are also a number of development studies of the author's own work. Each section closes with a group of suggested exercises. Charles LeClair is the author of "The Art of Watercolour: Techniques and New Directions".

This book explores the ways color is used in art through the work of brilliant 20th-century painters Milton Avery, Jasper Johns, and others. Color theory and history are integrated with how-tos on applying color structurally, spatially, gesturally, and symbolically. ; Born in Columbia, Missouri, Le Clair studied at the University of Wisconsin and went on to teach art at numerous schools, including the University of Alabama, Albright Art School in Buffalo, and Chatham College in Pittsburgh, before becoming dean of Temple University's Tyler School of Art in 1960. One of his most significant contributions to the lives of aspiring artists was establishing Tyler School of Art in Rome in 1966. Le Clair was widely known as a gifted watercolorist and oil painter, and his work has been exhibited at Gross McCleaf Gallery in Philadelphia; the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; the Corcoran Gallery of Art inWashington, DC; the Art Institute of Chicago, and other galleries and major museums. ; FINE/FINE.
