The Book About Color. In Life and Painting

What is color? Why does everyone perceive it differently? Can one learn to see it and how to work with it? In the new book by Elizaveta Zalegina, answers to all questions related to the topic of color are gathered. The book will explain why color is needed, what common misconceptions exist around this concept, what warmth-coolness and color reflex are, how light and shadow affect perception, what can actually be called “dirt” on a painting and whether it can be. On its pages, you will also find the theory of the color wheel, an explanation of Goethe's effect, as well as the “anchor principle”, which will help to understand the complex topic of color. The author of the book, Elizaveta Zalegina, is a graduate of the Moscow School of Arts and the Surikov Moscow State Academic Art Institute, a graphic artist, a member of the Union of Artists since 1998, and a teacher of academic drawing and painting with over 20 years of experience. Elizaveta wrote a popular book on drawing, Academic Drawing. Myths and Reality, which resonated with readers across the country, and educational videos on her YouTube channel gather tens of thousands of views.
