Features: Under the influence of light, humans rely on vision to perceive the world. We should note that the two factors that make up human vision are luminance and color. Luminance and color are inseparable in human vision, just as there are no shadows without color in the world, nor colors without shadows. However, we know that color can be expressed solely through luminance, like in black-and-white photographs or black-and-white television images. A color photograph can be converted into a black-and-white photograph, but a black-and-white photograph cannot be fully restored to color, because color is ever-changing. This book introduces you to the painting techniques of black-and-white art, including black, white, and gray, points, lines, surfaces, language, repetition, gradient, special, rhythm, and rhyme.
