In one of the most useful and accessible books of this series, Keith will show you how to use techniques such as washes, glazing and resists as well as how to portray subjects as diverse as skies, trees and river scenes. His approach throughout is entirely practical and he offers advice on how to avoid obvious traps as well as how to make your paintings brighter and more lively.
Keith manages to combine both technical and creative advice, explaining how to lay and grade a wash as well as how to make important picture elements such as clouds and mountains interesting as well as realistic. He also has some very useful words to say on how to use both perspective and the way you handle foregrounds to give your paintings depth and impact.
To accompany the book Keith's NEW DVD demonstrates a wide range of the techniques covered in the book. Using partially-completed paintings, Keith finishes them off, showing just the topic in hand. He covers subjects which include skies & clouds, hills & mountains, trees & foliage in all the seasons, as well as foregrounds and distance & recession.
Moving on to techniques, he also demonstrates wet-in-wet, the use of resists and drybrush and the creation of impact zones as part of composition, as well as the use of glazing.
