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

Nice Sunscreen
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
I bought this sunscreen for everyday use and I really like it. It feels very light on the skin and does not feel greasy at all. It blends in quickly without leaving a white layer on the skin. It also does not cause any breakouts or irritation. The size is easy to carry in a bag, and the smell is mild. Overall, this is a simple and reliable sunscreen for daily use.

Sheer yet protective
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
I have tried many different sunscreens and sunblocks; this brand and SPF 55 seems to work perfectly. It goes on sheer, does not leave any white residue and gives the exact protection I need. Would recommend highly.

Real Review after 2 months
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
Great and easy to use, because of liquid based. No need to reapply again for every 2 hours. Because I tried it every day

Works great
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 55
So no Sunscreen worked for me. I tried almost everything. Then I tried this one. Its seems pretty well. That absorbs the skin and does feel greasy. Very nice.
