Synopsis
Excerpt from A New Practical Treatise on the Three Primitive Colours, Assumed as a Perfect System of Rudimental Information: Simplifying, Their Universal, in Regular Order of Gradation, Into Colourless Darkness When Equilaterally Concentrated
Although the mixture of colours may be extended to an infinite variety, almost impossible to be described, I will not omit touching slightly upon it; setting down at first a certain number of simple colours to serve as a foundation, and with each of these mixing one of the others - one with one, then two with two, and three with three; proceeding in this manner to the full mixture of all the colours together. I call those simple colours, which cannot be made or supplied by any mixture of other colours.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of color theory and its application to painting. The author, a painter himself, presents a fresh perspective on a subject that has captivated artists for centuries, challenging conventional wisdom and presenting a new system for understanding the creation and manipulation of colors. Drawing inspiration from the writings of Leonardo da Vinci and the work of early artists, the author builds upon established ideas and diagrams to offer his own unique and practical approach. He lays out a systematic method for mixing colors, demonstrating how to achieve a full spectrum of hues using just three primary colors ΓΆβ β yellow, red, and blue ΓΆβ β and their various combinations. He introduces the concept of "The Painters Compass" - a circular diagram that reveals the harmonious relationships between different colors and their corresponding shades. The author then moves beyond the realm of static colors, examining the influence of light, shadow, and reflection on color perception. He provides insights into how these elements work together to create the illusion of depth and realism in a painting. Through clear explanations and detailed diagrams, he explores the principles behind the rainbow, offering practical guidance for artists to accurately represent this natural phenomenon in their work. This book offers a timeless exploration of color theory, providing a valuable resource for artists of all levels seeking to deepen their understanding of this fundamental aspect of painting. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
