DYNAMIC LIGHT AND SHADE

Mastery of light and shade -- rendered with accuracy and expressive power -- is the key to three-dimensional form in drawing and painting. Here is an invaluable work on this essential subject, the product of years of study by one of the world's great teachers of drawing and an artist of international renown, Burne Hogarth. Hogarth begins with the simplest kind of light and shade, showing how a dark silhouette on white paper can communicate form and space. He then shows how the silhouette is transformed into three dimensions with the addition of minimal light -- the highlight. Following these insightful chapters, Hogarth devotes a separate chapter to each of the given basic categories of light and shade: single-source light; double-source light; flat, diffused light; moonlight; and sculptural light. In these chapters Hogarth illustrates the effects of these different kinds of light on a variety of subjects and examines both natural and artificial light sources. Out Of Print. Condition: Fine.
