In this volume, noted author and teacher Burne Hogarth illustrates every effect of light and shade with brilliant drawings in pencil, charcoal, carbon, pen and ink, and brush and ink, encouraging the reader to experiment with diverse drawing media. Following introductory chapters, the author devotes a separate chapter to each of the five basic categories of light and shade: single-source light, double-source light, flat diffused light, moonlight, and sculptural light. Hogarth also includes discussions regarding spatial light, transparent light, fragmentation light, radiant light, and artist-invented expressive light. The first book on this fundamental aspect of art technique, this is an essential volume for everyone who draws and paints. Paperback, 160 pages.
