Painting with Colour: Introduction

This Post provides a link to the introduction to BOOK 2 of “Painting with Light and Colour“. It deals with what I have described as “body colour” and is  subivided into four PARTS:

• Part 1: Colour and feeling (Chapter 19).
• Part 2: Local colour interactions (Chapters 20-24)
  
• Part 3: Shadows, shading and highlights (Chapters 25 -28)
• Part 4: Concluding syntheses based on both “Painting with Colour” and “Painting with Light”( Chapters 29-31)
