PULLING YOUR PAINTINGS TOGETHER
Book ID/图书代码： 12580018C00188
English Summary/英文概要： Pulling Your Paintings Together is a book about making connections: interweaving lines, shapes, and colors; moving backgrounds into foregrounds, positive shapes into negative ones, lost edges into found boundaries-all with the intention to create a painting or drawing that is a harmonious unit, with all elements subordinated to the effect of the whole.
The medium is unimportant. Watercolor, oil, pen-and-ink, charcoal-all are here, each with its own set of rules and techniques. Yet each is surprisingly unfixed in its treatment. Oil can be handled like watercolor, charcoal like oil, pen lines can be smudged and softened, solid boundaries left broken and open. Because even between media there are relationships and interconnections. All is woven together, one into the other, media, treatments, brushstrokes-like the golden threads of a giant tapestry. Pulling Your Paintings Together is a wonderful addition to Charles Reid’s library of art technique books.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “你轻轻一挥画笔，就能将线条连接或断开，改变构图的重点，从而将观者的目光引往不同方向。你能够完全控制自己所描绘的世界，你眼中所见的一切尽在自己的掌握之中。”——查尔斯·雷德
世界知名的水彩大师查尔斯·雷德，将在这本书中重点关注在画面上建立各种联系的方法，例如：将线条、形状与色彩联系起来，将背景与前景连接起来，将正形与负形结合起来，将软边线与硬边线融合起来——所有这些联系的目的都是使画面中所有元素服务于整体，从而创作出画面协调的和谐作品。
本书中，查尔斯·雷德详细介绍了三种观察方法，也是使画面协调的重要技法。此外，他还巨细靡遗地向读者解答了水彩自学过程中常见的种种困惑，耐心传授了他从自身作画经验总结出的使用小技巧，借助他一百余幅风格恣意、光影和谐的水彩画作品展示出来。领会书中所授，你的绘画技法一定会显著精进。(DB)
