Hey I just received my colour and light book in the mail the other day. Great stuff, you have good brains :)
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I appreciate the meticulous and intelligent way you worked through the subject. It's all very 'enlightening.'
It's the kind of book that's worth sitting down with a note book next to you for jotting down the gems.

I received mine yesterday and it's a definitely fabulous book. Thousand's thank's to you Mr. Gurney
ReplyDeleteNo contest. Your book is the winner. The others are very specialized in their content, while yours actually helps one to observe the elements of color and light, and it promotes drawing and painting from life and imagination.
ReplyDeleteIn my mind, yours is a much more valuable publication to both the aspiring artist, and the seasoned professional.

ReplyDeleteMy wife presented me with your ‘Color and Light’ book for Christmas! It is absolutely gorgeous! The wide range of information is laid out in an easy-reading format that lets you read a page or two at random, or from cover to cover (as I look forward to doing as soon as possible!). Your writing style is easy, clear, and informative; and the many photos of your palettes and taboret set-ups are a real treat. But most of all I LOVE your paintings, illustrations, and sketches!! You are really an inspiration and a great teacher!
Your body of work is so varied and voluminous that it raises a question that you might address in a future blog:
How do you store your many finished paintings so that they don’t get damaged, and so that you can find them as needed?
Thanx again for your hard work and enthusiasm. -RQ
I received my Color and Light book for Christmas and I can't put it down. Thank you for creating such a great book.
