Description

[Machine Translation] A theory of color and light by artists for artists. Includes explanations directly related to drawing and abundant illustrations showing specific examples. Widely read by artists in a variety of fields, including art, film, and games. James Gurney, one of America's leading contemporary illustrators and a well-known authority on the subject, shares his experience and knowledge of art making in A Guide for the Realist Painter, VOLUME 2 of the Realist Painting series. The foundation of art is light and color. From the days when artists explored the world in search of vivid, time-tested pigments to the present day, when digital tools are used to create art, the manipulation of color and light is still a topic of great interest to artists. Knowing the nature of light and the characteristics of color, we can see different aspects of how to visualize what we see. Beginning with theories on how to depict light, the history and properties of color, the color schemes of the masters, and human vision, the book provides a wealth of examples of color schemes and the interaction of light and color to produce a variety of effects. Each double-page spread covers a single topic, making this an easy-to-read guide to color and light. In addition, the book also includes a discussion of the works of masters who skillfully used light and color, a discussion of the scientific aspects of light, including Goethe and Newton, and a history of pigments, making it an enjoyable read.

カラー&ライト リアリズムのための色彩と光の描き方 / ジェームス・ガーニー/著 Bスプラウト/訳

アーティストのためのアーティストによる、色彩と光の理論。作画に直結した解説と具体的な事例を示す豊富なイラストを掲載。アート、映画、ゲームをはじめ、さまざまな分野のアーティストに広く読まれています。アメリカを代表する現代イラストレーターの一人であり、博識で知られるジェームス・ガーニーが、自身のアート制作の経験と知識を分かりやすく語る「A Guide for the Realist Painter:リアリズム絵画の手引き」シリーズ VOLUME2です。アートの基本は、光そして色彩にあります。鮮やかで、時間がたっても色あせない顔料を求めて世界中を探検した時代にはじまり、デジタルツールでアート作品を作れる現在に至っても、色彩と光をどう操るかはアーティストにとって最も興味のあるトピックでしょう。光の性質、色の特徴を知ると、目に映ったものを視覚化するための方法が違った側面から見えてきます。光の描き方、色の歴史と性質、巨匠たちの色使い、人間の視覚などの理論からはじまり、さまざまな効果をもたらす配色方法(カラースキーム)、光と色の相互作用などの具体例が豊富に解説されています。見開き2ページに1つのトピックがまとめられた、色彩と光についての読みやすい解説書です。さらに、光と色を巧みに使った巨匠の作品解説、ゲーテとニュートンをはじめ光の科学的側面からの考察、顔料の歴史など、読み物としても楽しめる内容です。
