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.
