Try This Instead

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Color and Light by James Gurney.

Color and Light feels like an extended studio lecture full of painted studies and photo comparisons that show how light alters temperature, value, and reflected color.

Best used as a slow study or a visual reference to consult while working, not a one-sitting primer.
