James Gurney's new book is out: "Color and Light, A guide for the Realist Painter". James gave me the opportunity review a first draft of the book and generously invited comments and criticism, but my comments are all positive. I'm taking time out from my regular posts to pitch the book to you because for years students have asked me if there's a good book on color and light out there and my answer has always been no. There are some great chapters here and great articles there but not a single comprehensive volume that I was comfortable recommending. But now James has taken his impressive knowledge and experience and given us exactly the book we've been looking for. I can't recommend it enough.

I am so getting this book! Thanks for the recommendation. It is always so inspiring to have you speak in class. Thank you for the lecture + demo!
Preordered it several months ago. I liked the first one, but something tells me this is going to be great.

Didn't know what to ask for Christmas: problem solved :)
This is a great book for me.
Great recommendation. It is the best survey on light and color I've seen. And I've taken college courses in physics on light. Thanks for the great find.
Of course, the writer is completely fair.
