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)

  1. It will be a while before I have time to delve into the text but I must say how lovely it is to see the Esplanade and Breath paintings, they are a delight.

  2. This introduction sets the scene for important topics that lie ahead. I love the paintings in Figures 1, 2 and 3, all those ‘colour excitements’ and more. I look forward to reading on.
