The Landscape Painter's Workbook is the definitive hands-on guide
to the time-honored techniques and essential elements of landscape
painting. Written by celebrated landscape artist, instructor, and
author Mitchell Albala, this richly informative and beautifully
illustrated volume leads you step by step through his approach to
the genre, from establishing a composition using basic shapes to
applying time-tested color strategies, with all-new lessons,
practical exercises, and special topics, including: The Complete
Color Strategy. What are the three aspects of color contrast that
guide a painting's strategy? Notan. Explore this special type of
compositional study, which identifies the underlying shapes and
patterns of a composition. Picture Formats. How does the picture
format-horizontal, vertical, or square-affect the composition? What
are the pros and cons of each? Color Grouping. A full chapter
details this special practice, which helps maintain harmony by
organizing colors into a limited number of groups. Composition. An
in-depth review of variation, movement, and active negative space,
with illustrations that diagram the action in each example.
Workshop Exercises. Instead of demonstrations that show how the
author paints, The Landscape Painter's Workbook includes 10
skill-building workshop exercises to help you work through
essential lessons on your own. With examples of work by 45
contemporary landscape painters-more than 80 paintings in all- in
oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor, the lessons are suitable for
all mediums. Each painting is thoroughly analyzed in terms of
shape, composition, or color, with supporting diagrams, thumbnails,
and photographs. The Landscape Painter's Workbook inspires and
informs all artists, from aspiring to accomplished, on how to
successfully portray the majesty and subtlety of the natural world.
The For Artists series expertly guides and instructs artists at all
skill levels who want to develop their classical drawing and
painting skills and create realistic and representational art.
Working en plein-air is a French term that means literally 'in the
open air' and, although artists have been doing just that for
centuries, the concept is experiencing a resurgence today.
Sketchers and painters alike are leaving their studios and heading
out into the open air. This book encourages you to join them. Full
of in-depth advice and practical instruction, it explains how to
make the most of painting outside and how to capture the very
essence of a scene with a far greater authenticity than can be
achieved when working from a second-hand image. Covers an array of
mediums including pencils, pastels, pens, watercolours, oils and
acrylics.

This is a concise and engaging, yet detailed and informative
monograph that explores Gauguin's most Important works. Paul
Gauguin (1848-1903) was one of the most important artists of the
late 19th century, and one whose work was to have a profound
influence on the development of art in the 20th century. He began
as an Impressionist, but went on to develop a richly-coloured style
in his constant search for pristine originality and unadulterated
nature. This concise monograph collects the most important works by
Gauguin, not only of his best known paintings of Tahiti in which
the artist attempted to reconstruct the perfect life which he had
failed to find in reality, but also of many powerful works that
reflect the artist's contact with other seminal early modern
masters like Van Gogh or Cezanne.
Keep the page in your book with this gorgeous pack of 10 foiled
bookmarks, printed on both sides, with a silky ribbon and featuring
artwork by Vincent van Gogh. Vincent Van Gogh composed this
painting while he was in the Saint-Remy mental asylum, near Arles.
The bold use of impasto and the beauty of the towering trees have
made this one of his most recognisable works. There are various
other versions of the painting, one of which features a closer view
of the cypresses painted vertically, as well as a replica of this
version that Van Gogh painted for his mother and sister.
Keep the page in your book with this gorgeous pack of 10 foiled
bookmarks, printed on both sides, with a silky ribbon and featuring
artwork by Vincent van Gogh. Van Gogh painted a series of pictures
depicting sunflowers, having first been inspired by the yellow
flowers in Paris when he saw them growing in the gardens of
Montmartre. Sunflowers were symbolic of life and hope to the
artist, and could also be associated with his concept of the sun -
glowing, yellow and hopeful.
