内容简介

通过对光线的深入研究，中级和高级艺术学生获得了广泛的效果词汇。该指南提供了详细的描述，从基础知识--光的方向、反射和阴影--开始，推进到对自然和操纵情况下的光的研究。对更微妙的光效应的研究包括：前景缩短、场效应、多光源、彩色光、描绘光源以及光在闪亮表面的行为。

本书配有丰富的图表和绘画，将其原则应用于人物、静物和风景画。作者Ted Seth Jacobs强调了将现实生活中的景象与画布进行比较的重要性，因为没有任何规则体系可以替代密切和仔细的观察。雅各布斯指出了常见的错误，提出了艺术家应该牢记的光线效果，并讨论了如何抛开先入为主的观念，以便更清楚地看到世界。

Intermediate and advanced art students receive a broad vocabulary of effects with this in-depth study of light. The guide offers detailed descriptions that start with the basics — the direction of light, reflections, and shadows — and advance to studies of light in natural and manipulated situations. Examinations of subtler light effects include foreshortening, field effects, multiple light sources, colored light, depicting the light source, and the behavior of light on shiny surfaces.

Lavishly illustrated with diagrams and paintings, this volume applies its principles to figure, still life, and landscape paintings. Author Ted Seth Jacobs stresses the importance of comparing real-life vision to the canvas, since no system of rules can substitute for close and careful observation. Jacobs points out common errors, suggests light effects that artists should keep in mind, and discusses how preconceptions can be put aside in order to see the world more clearly.
