Color Collective S Palette Perfect Vol 2

The second volume by best-selling author Lauren Wager features a fresh new approach to color combinations with entirely new palettes, organized by season. What color is summer? Is it cool and translucent swimming pool aquamarine, dazzling red like watermelon flesh, or the pale pink interior of a seashell? If these colors define summer, what color is autumn? How about winter? And spring? In Palette Perfect, vol 2, designer, best-selling author and content creator Lauren Wager explores the multiple possibilities of seasonal color applications, leading the reader through an inspirational presentation of image pairings and color combinations. This volume--both a practical guide and inspirational book for designers, illustrators, architects, and crafters, as well as non-professionals, home decoration and fashion lovers--provides examples of well thought-out color application within the worlds of contemporary art, fashion, interiors, photography and graphic design. It is a carefully gathered collection of color palettes and stunning images with a touch of the unexpected, utterly successful in its aim. This book demonstrates the value of observation and how the practice of seeking beauty can lead to fruitful creation and inspiration.

Aimed to fashion students and designers, Palette Perfect is both a practical guide and an inspirational book that proposes a reflection on the universe of colour combinations, the moods and atmospheres they evoke and how we associate particular places and emotions to special colours. Each chapter explores a particular mood and describes the corresponding feelings and color combinations, using as examples exquisite photographs of objects, still-lives, landscapes, interiors and fashion. Atthe end of each chapter, a wide variety of palettes representing the chapter’s particular mood or atmosphere is included.

Unlike many other art books only give recipes for mixing colors or describe step-by-step painting techniques, *Color and Light* answers the questions that realist painters continually ask, such as: "What happens with sky colors at sunset?", "How do colors change with distance?", and "What makes a form look three-dimensional?" Author James Gurney draws on his experience as a plain-air painter and science illustrator to share a wealth of information about the realist painter's most fundamental tools: color and light. He bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge for traditional and digital artists of all levels of experience.
