Painting Nightscapes with Artificial Light
Editorial Reviews Book Description The instructional guides in this series help the beginning artist find the answers that the majority of painting books fail to provide: how to create and avoid the little details that can either destroy a painting or make it into a masterpiece. Included are techniques for painting reflections on water in the style of the great masters, for creating textures, for putting life and movement into a work, and for beginning a long and fruitful relationship between the amateur artist and the world of art.
Painting is born out of light, but that does not necessarily have to be natural light. This guide to creating a wide spectrum of chromatic richness with darkness and artificial light provides techniques for painting moonlit landscapes, figures, and still-life arrangements and tricks for filling paintings with the nocturnal life of theaters and cafes. Also included is a discussion of how local color changes when lit by something other than natural daylight and tips for reflecting the appearance of the first morning light. About the Author José M. Parramón is an editor, painter, and professor at the Barcelona School of Fine Arts.
