Fantastic book that really makes one think about his or her process in painting and why one chooses what one does to paint. While Amazon shows it as being out of print and offers it through independent retailers for a lot of money, it can be purchased through the publisher for much less.
Finally I find someone who wants to teach fundamentals! As example from Chapter Seven, "Color and Light."
"My advice--my plea to you--is to do the [color] charts for your sake. . . The charts are not a sure-fire gimmick guaranteed to make you a color wizard, but they are the best way I know of how to understand your pigments and enter the study of color on a sound footing."
That exercise alone is pretty much worth the price (expensive) of the book for me. Later he explains how it plays into one's painting skill.
This book is not the "last word," but it is informative and inspirational--and at times humorous--if you are looking for such things.… (mais)
