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.
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 Wilhelm List. Austrian painter Wilhelm List was born in
Vienna in 1864. He studied there as well as in Munich and Paris,
learning from artists such as Christian Griepenkerl (1839-1912)and
William Bouguereau (1825-1903). List co-founded the Vienna
Secession with renowned artist Gustav Klimt (1862-1918), exhibiting
at the very first Viennese Secession in March 1897. The
Secessionists strove to break free of the constraints of the late
nineteenth century academic art establishment. List's artwork was a
mixture of portraits, landscapes and genre paintings, often with
mythological subjects. Magnolia is among List's most well-known
works. Its intricate depiction of a beautiful tree in bloom, with a
background of still waters has a spiritual quality that evokes a
sense of peace.
