The Watercolourist's Essential Notebook Landscapes Book and DVD set
Give your landscape paintings a new lease of life!
Gordon MacKenzie demonstrates in three stunning projects just what can be achieved in a landscape painting. With the use of simple, but extremely effective, techniques Gordon breaks through new boundaries and creates suggestive, mood filled paintings that sparkle with life.
Gordon enjoys using a loose approach to his painting, he uses large wash brushes where possible and encourages you to fly where you might usually slow down for detail. There’s something particularly fresh and exciting about Gordon’s approach to landscapes, he uses some truly innovative techniques such as modifying a brush to create what he calls a ‘scrub brush’ - used for lifting paint from the page to create a whole range of lighting effects. He also uses Popsicle sticks, paper towels, slices of sponge and much more to add a new dimension to his work.
This truly is an essential guide to painting landscapes; the techniques learnt will open doors to new painting possibilities and with Gordon’s friendly and easy-to-follow instruction you are sure to succeed.
