Author and illustrator James Gurney brings a perspective of realism and scientific accuracy to his work. His art currently appears in museum exhibitions around the world.
James Gurney's series of illustrated fantasy adventure stories,
beginning with 1992's Dinotopia: A Land Apart from Time,
produced a generation raised on Gurney's highly realistic paintings
of an entirely unreal subject.... Still it was no surprise to the
author-artist-blogger and his long-time publisher Andrews McMeel
when his recently released second volume of art instruction,
Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter, became a
bestseller for AMP immediately upon its release in December 2010,
selling out its 10,000-copy run in just two months. (Mark Schulz,
Publishers Weekly)
Dinotopia author and plein-air painter Gurney offers a
practical, well-organized, and informative handbook for artists of
all levels. (Chronogram Magazine)
This is a terrific book, highly recommended not only for young
artists but anyone with an interest in traditional art technique.
(Karen Haber, Locus)
