From New York Times best-selling author of the Dinotopia series, James Gurney, comes a carefully crafted and researched study on color and light in paintings. This art instruction book is the follow up to the acclaimed Imaginative Realism: How to Paint What Doesn't Exist. James Gurney, New York Times best-selling author and artist of the Dinotopia series, follows Imaginative Realism with his second art-instruction book, Color and Light: A Guide for the Realist Painter. A researched study on two of art's most fundamental themes, Color and Light bridges the gap between abstract theory and practical knowledge. Beginning with a survey of underappreciated masters who perfected the use of color and light, the book examines how light reveals form, the properties of color and pigments, and the wide variety of atmospheric effects. Gurney cuts though the confusing and contradictory dogma about color, testing it in the light of science and observation. A glossary, pigment index, and bibliography complete what will ultimately become an indispensible tool for any artist. This book is the second in a series based on his blog, gurneyjourney.com. His first in the series, Imaginative Realism, was widely acclaimed in the fantastical art world, and was ranked the #1 Bestseller on the Amazon list for art instruction. James Gurney's new book, Color and Light, cleverly bridges the gap between artistic observation and scientific explanation. Not only does he eloquently describe all the effects of color and light an artist might encounter, but he thrills us with his striking paintings in the process. --Armand Cabrera, ArtistBinding Type: Paperback

Nice sturdy quality!
Size: 8 Inch, Color: Black
I made my own shelves. Stained the wood & needed brackets. Ordered a variety, different styles. These were the winner. The really added to the look, style of the shelves. Made the shelves beautiful! These reasonably priced brackets make my shelves look expensive and super high quality.

Beautiful! Exactly what I was looking for!
Size: 12 Inch, Color: Gold, Size: 12 Inch, Color: Gold
Sturdy, well contructed, and an even natural gold finish. Come with two different wall anchors and brass screws. Installation is easy. Just take your time measuring and drilling holes. I purchased finished white shelves from the closet section of home depot, $7 a piece. Gives them a nice finished look. They measure 3/4” x 11.75” x 24”. The brackets are 12” deep so there is a slight gap at the front but its not noticeable. Highly reccomend.

Find something else
Size: 4 Inch, Color: Black
I wish zero stars was an option. The quality was mediocre at best with 2 of the brackets not a proper 90 degrees and the supplied screws do NOT fit the supplied drywall anchors. They are WAY too small. What a complete waste of time and energy. I stupidly was willing to overlook the 2 defective brackets because I really only needed 3 for my shelf. That’s when I discovered that the supplied screws are too small for the supplied anchors. Now I have 6 holes in my wall that need to be patched from the 3 brackets I tried to use. Luckily I was able to back the anchors out of the wall so I could fully return this garbage to Amazon for a refund. Find something else and pass this by. Why can’t anything be easy anymore? At least Amazon has a good return policy but I really wish they would find a way to vett these products better before allowing them to list on the platform. Tomorrow off to UPS to return.

Cute and functional
Color: Brown, Color: Brown
I wanted something to spruce up a corner in my kitchen and these did the trick. They were easy to install and look great. I use mine for small items and they hold up no problem!
