Synopsis
Mastering Color: A Practical Approach
Adding color to any canvas is both art and science. In fact, it’s a discipline that can be explored and learned through the practical application of techniques that Al Gury has developed during his nearly 30 years of teaching at America’s first fine arts institution, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Richly illustrated with more than 270 full color images, including masterpieces from the past 500 years of Western painting, this book offers the instruction every painter needs to confidently construct a painting with color. Color for Painters:
-Traces the use of color in Western art from the classical world to the present.
-Explores the use and properties of various pigments and materials.
-Reviews the evolving approaches to color (from tonal to pointillism to the modern use of color as psychological expression).
-Presents exercises for mixing and using paints.
-Offers step-by-step demonstrations of all the basic color genres and techniques.
Students, experienced painters, teachers, and anyone who appreciates fine art will treasure this exploration of painting’s “wild beast.”

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This is a practical manual for painters, art students and art educators, on the paramount issue of mastering colour. "Color for Painters" evolved from the author's 28 years of teaching colour in painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, America's first school of fine arts and an internationally recognised leading institution in arts education. The book provides direct, practical demonstrations that show how to construct a painting with colour. Rather than teaching colour as a process of personal exploration founded on a handful of modernist principles, Gury's approach is based on the idea that colour can be learned in a direct manner, a basis of learning seminal to the curriculum of PAFA, which has informed many of America's greatest artists, including such masters as Thomas Eakins and Mary Cassatt. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR005333835
