Features 10 step-by-step demonstrations covering a variety of subjects, scenery and seasons.
Realism in landscape painting is the ultimate goal of many fine artists and leisure-time painters, and this book shows how to achieve that goal by using the right colours, values and textures to express near, middle and great distance. Included are demonstrations for all seasons: winter, spring, summer and autumn, thus addressing how depth of field in the landscape changes during each time of year.
Ten complete step-by-step demonstrations show how to paint classic country landscapes in oils on canvas. Learn how to achieve the illusion of depth and distance – the key to realism in landscape painting. Each demo teaches a clear and comprehensive lesson that readers can use in their own paintings to express relative distance, from sharp focus, close-up detail to the haziness of faraway mountains. Demos cover all four seasons. More than 350 full color photos break down the painting process into easy to follow steps, ensuring success even for beginners. Dozens of colourful diagrams, reference photos and side-by-side comparisons show the difference between near, middle and far distance, making learning fun and easy.
