His first in the series, Imaginative Realism, was widely acclaimed in the fantastical art world, and was ranked the #1 Bestseller on the Amazon list for art instruction. This book is the second in a series based on his blog,. A glossary, pigment index, and bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensible tool for any artist. Gurney cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about color, testing it in the light of science and observation.
