The art of portraiture approached its apex during the sixteenth
century in Europe with the discovery of oil painting when the old
masters developed and refined techniques that remain unsurpassed to
this day. The ascendance of nonrepresentational art in the middle
of the twentieth century displaced these venerable skills,
especially in academic art circles. Fortunately for aspiring
artists today who wish to learn the methods that allowed the Old
Masters to achieve the luminous color and subtle tonalities so
characteristic of their work, this knowledge has been preserved in
hundreds of small traditional painting ateliers that persevered in
the old ways in this country and throughout the world.
Coming out of this dedicated movement, "Portrait Painting Atelier"
is an essential resource for an art community still recovering from
a time when solid instruction in art technique was unavailable in
our schools. Of particular value here is a demonstration of the Old
Masters' technique of layering paint over a toned-ground surface, a
process that builds from the transparent dark areas to the more
densely painted lights. This method unifies the entire painting,
creating a beautiful glow that illuminates skin tones and softly
blends all the color tones. Readers will also find valuable
instruction in paint mediums from classic oil-based to alkyd-based,
the interactive principles of composition and photograph-based
composition, and the anatomy of the human face and the key
relationships among its features.
Richly illustrated with the work of preeminent masters such as
Millet, Gericault, and van Gogh, as well as some of today's leading
portrait artists--and featuring seven detailed step-by-step
portrait demonstrations--"Portrait Painting Atelier" is the first
book in many years to so comprehensively cover the concepts and
techniques of traditional portraiture.
Landscape painting is one of the most popular subjects for painters
working in the medium of oils - from classic masters to
contemporary artists. In The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting,
established Watson-Guptill author and noted instructor/painter
Suzanne Brooker presents the fundamentals necessary for mastering
landscape oil painting, breaking landscapes down into component
parts: sky, terrain, trees, and water. Each featured element builds
off the previous, with additional lessons on the latest brushes,
paints, and other tools used by artists. Key methods like
observation, rendering, and colour mixing are supported by
demonstration paintings and samples from a variety of the best
landscape oil painters of all time. With The Elements of Landscape
Oil Painting, oil painters looking to break into landscape painting
or enhance their work will find all the necessary ingredients for
success.
This beginner's guide to drawing in graphite pencil uses
step-by-step exercises to teach fundamental methods for rendering
all aspects of the natural landscape, with additional lessons on
using charcoal, colored pencil, pastel, and other media. Following
in the footsteps of author, artist, and art instructor Suzanne
Brooker's previous title The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting,
this book pairs the most universally-pursued topic for artists
(drawing) with the popular subject matter of the natural landscape.
Brooker breaks down landscapes into their various
elements--including the earth, water, air, and trees--to convey how
the fundamentals of drawing are applied to capture each aspect.
Using the graphite pencil as her baseline instrument, Brooker
provides you with step-by-step lessons that help you improve your
rendering skills and re-create the beauty of the world outdoors.
Examples from art history and contemporary masters supplement these
lessons. The end result is a drawing instruction book that provides
artists with everything they need to render landscapes no matter
their skill level.
