Description
Watercolor "light" is, in essence, the white of the paper contrasting with the shapes and colors of your washes. In this book, you'll learn how to make the most of this powerful relationship. By working through a series of step-by-step demonstrations - each building on the one before it - you'll gain a practical understanding of how to design your paintings - and plan the light - right from the start; "carve" out your white areas with rich shadows and shapes; juxtapose bright colors against colorful grays; use broken color to "punch up" the point of interest; and achieve a powerful simplicity by seeing your subject as dynamic shapes of color. From thumbnail sketches to finishing touches, watch as Marilyn paints a broad range of subjects...sun-drenched florals, light-filled interiors, dramatic still lifes, cityscapes and harbors. Throughout, she shares her special ways of working - including the way she uses a palette knife to create texture and how she achieves the interesting "Simandle Grays" that fill her shadows.

造型语言基础
By 席卫权《造型语言基础》是以美术本体基本知识与技能为主要内容，对应美术教育专业本科阶段基础教学的辅助教材。目前，涉及美术专业技能训练或学理分析的教材并不少见，但在一个整体框架下以启发式教学的方式，引领学生将学理分析与能力积累统一起来的学习型教材还不多见，《造型语言基础》的编写就是这方面的一个尝试。《造型语言基础》从理解造型语言的的基本概念、文化背景和意义入手，探究视知觉与视觉要素、媒介与手段等，并引导学生以课题的方式研习和掌握各种造型语言。本教材明确地从“万物有道”的探究思维出发，将技能与道理之间的关系作为突破，寻求以最简洁、明了的平实语言阐明关键道理，将能力的获取与学习方略结合起来，整体把握，以图为“标”，索引学习途径，并提示学习计划、推荐相应的参考书目。建议学习者适当采用自主学习的方式，补充和拓展相关学习内容。
