From New York Times best-selling author of the Dinotopia series, James Gurney, comes a carefully crafted and researched study on color and light in paintings. This art instruction book is the follow up to the acclaimed Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist.

James Gurney, New York Times best-selling author and artist of the Dinotopia series, follows Imaginative Realism with his second art-instruction book, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter. A researched study on two of art's most fundamental themes, Color and Light bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge. Beginning with a survey of underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color and light, the book examines how light reveals form, the properties of color and pigments, and the wide variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about color, testing it in the light of science and observation. A glossary, pigment index, and bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensible tool for any artist.

This book is the second in a series based on his blog, gurneyjourney.com. His first in the series, Imaginative Realism, was widely acclaimed in the fantastical art world, and was ranked the #1 Bestseller on the Amazon list for art instruction.

James Gurney's new book, Color and Light, cleverly bridges the gap between artistic observation and scientific explanation. Not only does he eloquently describe all the effects of color and light an artist might encounter, but he thrills us with his striking paintings in the process. --Armand Cabrera, Artist

15 Pack (WA0010)Replacement Trimmer Line Spool C
This weed eater trimmer line is pretty tough. Although there was only 12 spools in the box, but the Description says 15 spools, And this trimmer line is a lot tougher than the previous line I was using. I used very little of it on the first spool, which is great these Worx trimmer line spools fit perfectly and function perfectly this is a great product to purchase, and I will highly recommend them. if you just have a small amount of weed eating to do I would recommend getting these spools for your worx weed eater.

Good product for the price
I bought for my Worx trimmer and they work great. Even though Worx offers free replacements, when you add shipping onto the "Free" order..it costs more...this price is well worth it.
