The Art of Color. Learning to Work with Color and Light

Before you is a guide describing a revolutionary idea about the structure of color and light. Based on the latest achievements in science and technology, as well as on a rich professional experience, the author of this guide has developed... his own theory about the structure of color and the relationships of shades. Using examples from the artist's own works, as well as reinterpretations of famous works of art, the book demonstrates how effective the application of the new chromatic theory is, and explains how to work with it. The guide will be of interest to both artists who strive to convey color as closely to reality as possible in their works, and to those who are simply interested in the physics of color and human perception and want to peek beyond the boundaries of the color wheel.

Christophe Giral is a professional French artist who received his artistic education at the Art School of Toulouse in 1981 and has since been not only engaged in painting but also developing his own theory of color.
