It has helped me to understand light & color better.

It's a book that I would definitely keep coming back to read in the future so I can get new insights that I may have missed before. Review: Great book - Fantastic book.

Be ready to read.
The book is bigger and heavier than I thought it would be. Full of extensive information to help teach me not only about how to color and use lighting, but color theory, shading on several surfaces, creating backgrounds, putting focus where you want it and how to simplify what I thought was supposed to be hard work. No matter what, I will learn something from this book even if other things go over my head. Not for people who hate reading words or just want picture tutorials. There are a lot of images in this book, but not JUST step by step instructions.

So good I bought a physical copy after downloading a pdf of it
A great and accessible and well designed launching point for any artist of any medium. I’ve been recommended two highly revered books in the past on the topic, namely Color and Light by Gurney and Light for Visual artists by Yot, but found them incomplete and slightly disorganized in content, scope, and instruction. This is a masterclass on how you make an educational art book. Every Master Series book will now be added to my collection including their new one on composition and narrative. It is a gorgeous book too. Easily the most beautiful one on my shelf. Like I mentioned before I ripped a file of it originally online but after going through about 70 pages, found that it was invaluable and I would hate myself if I missed the opportunity to grab one of these while they’re still in print. If you’re a beginner, they will take you step by step introducing you to the sheer basics of light and color. even if you’re an intermediate or advanced artist, I’m sure there’s something of value for you in here.

Great book for digital artists
This book has a wide breadth of knowledge in it. I bought it to be better with figure painting and digital painting. The book is definitely skewed towards the latter. I appreciated many of the in depth topics I didn't even know I needed to learn about but was happy to learn. Many of the the topics I skipped, because I'm also a photographer and already was well versed in some subjects. I'm sure some will have some aspects they have already mastered but you will find a treasure trove of topics you never even thought about.

Incredible
Well worth the money. I’m about a tenth of the way through the book and already have learned so much. This is easily one of the best and most expansive books on color and light out there. It’s so good that I bought their other artists master series books as well.

Best for Digital Painting
I would have given this book 5 stars were it not for the fact that it is primarily geared to digital artists. The majority of the tutorials are for digital painting. So, for me, it was largely a waste of money. That said, the book is stunning, and it provides a thorough course on the science of light, reflections, and shadows. The majority of the illustrations apply to live media and photography, but then, inexplicably, when it switches to the tutorials it becomes focused on digital media. The publishers ought to make that clear.

Incredible book!
This book helped me understand color theory and how to use light in my art so much! It’s extremely useful and if I’m having trouble rendering a drawing I will go back to it and see the tips. It’s improved my art significantly! I love the master artists’ portfolios and seeing how their art goes from unfinished to polished. I would highly recommend this book for any serious beginner artist.
