Book excerpt: From the PREFACE.IN the course of my acquaintance with artistic painters, I was astonished to find the enormous amount of ignorance that exists among them as to the composition of the materials which they use and the science of painting. Almost every painter of note will tell you what a great pity it is that the science of making colors is lost, and that the ancient painters and great masters were so successful primarily because their pigments and materials were far superior to those which we can obtain to-day. This statement is so diametrically opposed to the facts that I have been prompted to make a study of paint pigments in order to throw some light on this subject, and demonstrate to the painter that the colors of to-day are far superior to the colors used by the ancients, and show that the principal fault lies with the manufacturer, who makes fugitive colors, for the use of which there is no scientific nor commercial reason. Almost any large dealer in artists' colors has upwards of 200 pigments on sale. In the first place, no palette could hold any such quantity, and in the second place, there are possibly only 10 or 15 sufficiently permanent pigments to warrant their use.The correct, complete and most edifying book on this subject has never been written, nor is my effort of much value, excepting perhaps from the standpoint of the chemist. Some day there will be born a man, who will be both a color chemist and a painter, and that man will write the ideal book on the subject. The popular impression is that all chemists must have a comprehensive knowledge of the chemistry of pigments, but this is not true, as there are very few chemists who know anything about the technology of paints, because it is a specialty which very few have worked up, and no matter how proficient a chemist may be, if he is not an artistic painter, he cannot advise how a sky should be painted, or what particular greens to use for foliage and shadows. The technique of the fine arts is a subject by itself, and while I may be supposed to have some knowledge on this subject, I frankly admit my inability to paint, but inasmuch as I feel very certain of one part of my subject, that is the physical and chemical properties of the pigments, I do not hesitate to recommend in plain language exactly what the painter shall do with reference to his colors, and the materials upon which he paints.Furthermore, I was very much astonished to find that in the art schools of the various countries no attention whatever is paid to the chemistry of colors. A painter should be aware that certain pigments are affected by the fumes arising from vegetables in a dining room, and that these fumes form chemical compounds with certain pigments, and a painter should likewise know that the atmosphere of large cities is contaminated with acid gases which are absent in smaller places, and which did not exist before the age of the burning of coal as fuel....

Download or read book Landscape Painting written by Mitchell Albala and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
