A wonderful, inspirational and motivating read - this book is guaranteed to fire the imagination of every artist who ever wanted to paint the great outdoors in oils!
What do you want your landscape painting to say about this place, this moment? How do you use the visual vocabulary - line, shape, value, colour, edges - to say it?
With this book your conversation with nature will direct your brush. With an exhilarating, synergistic combination of indoor and outdoor painting, Kevin Macpherson shows you how to create personal, poetic landscapes that capture the feeling of being there!
Written by a consummate oil painter and experienced workshop instructor, the instruction in this beautifully illustrated book is essential, direct - and easy to apply. Emphasizing simplicity of tools, colour and application, Kevin's approach will free you to focus on expression and creativity.
Learn how to:
- Use a limited palette in a way that is more liberating than limiting
- Experience nature to the fullest and capture its vibrancy through photos, sketches and outdoor studies
- Learn to establish a value plan - and stick with it
- Incorporate impressionistic touches of broken colour to give your landscape a depth and vibrancy that enhances its realism
- Approach painting as a layering and corrective process that encourages non-formulaic solutions
Contains stimulating 'warm up' exercises for the studio, eight step-by-step demonstrations - and throughout, Macphersons own, light filled landscapes to illustrate the power of the techniques covered in the book.
