Features: Visual psychology tells us that humans first recognize the objective world through the perception of color, and then understand its form. Color is an important means of expressing our emotions and the core of visual language. The focus of color lies in grasping its basic principles, which mainly include the following points: 1. Control of color temperature, i.e., the overall color relationships in a composition. 2. Expression of warm and cool color relationships. 3. The ability to use color to shape forms. The first two points test the basic understanding of color, while the third examines the student's comprehensive application of both sketching and color. The concepts we often discuss, such as brightness, saturation, light source color, ambient color, and local color, are all aimed at deepening the rational understanding of color. They are not isolated entities but the stepping stones to our perception of color and the basic vocabulary for color expression. In this sense, the fundamental purpose of color is to test whether students can use this basic vocabulary to convey the overall visual impression. This series of books on the application of color in painting, including figures, landscapes, and still lifes, aims to help readers quickly understand and recognize color through the analysis of color composition in painting and the concise explanation of general color-matching principles. May this series become your trusted guide and companion in the world of art.
