I am big on rendering, which includes having a passion for light and shadow. Here is a great study on color that I came across. David Briggs created this resource site. David is both technical and artistic receiving a Ph.D. in Science at the University of Queensland in 1990 and has been teaching drawing and colour theory at Sydney's Julian Ashton Art School since 1996. Other significant teaching positions have included six years as the life drawing instructor for Disney in Australia (from 2000). The site is broken into ten different areas from light & shade to the principles of color. He really created the content with painters in mind both traditional and digital, but it all transfers. There is a lot of great content that can be used in the classroom. - Cornell
FOREWORD: COLOUR MADE DIFFICULT
This website presents an account of the dimensions of colour and light perception, written for painters using either traditional or digital mediums. The conceptual framework presented here was developed as a component of Colour, Light and Vision, a course in the theory and practice of colour for artists that I have been presenting for around ten years at the Julian Ashton Art School, Sydney.
