Description

The portrayal of light is one of the most important skills an artist can develop and getting it right can involve a lifetime of study.

This comprehensive guide, aimed at the intermediate and advanced student, offers one of the most thorough studies available. The bulk of the book is devoted to an analysis of the structure, action and effects of light: in short, how it appears and affects the way a subject looks. Using a wealth of examples, diagrams and sketches, Ted shows you how the source, quality and direction of the light creates depth, modelling and perspective. He also, crucially, shows you how to capture and represent these effects in your work.
This is a well-worked account of one of the artists most important challenges and tools and it will repay a considerable amount of study.

It is not a how-to book as such, but contains all the information you could possibly want. Although the example paintings are mostly oils, the advice applies to any medium.
