Description

Over the centuries, landscape painting has attracted countless artists. Its diversity, enhanced by the weather, special lighting conditions and seasonal change, offers the painter an infinite variety of subject matter. Oils are an extremely versatile and immediate medium, enabling artists to express themselves in a variety of creative ways. They are relatively easy to use, suitable for both the beginner and the more experienced painter. This new book is a comprehensive study of how oils can be used to capture light, colour and texture in a wide range of landscape settings. It even includes eleven step-by-step demonstrations and discusses the entire painting process, from materials, inspiration and subject selection through to the finished painting. Throughout, emphasis is given to the importance of good drawing, composition, tone and colour, and the need for constant assessment, all of which are vital to the success of any piece of work. AUTHOR: Robert Brindley is a member of the Royal Society of Marine Artists. His main inspiration is the challenge of capturing light and atmosphere in a modern impressionistic style. He paints mainly landscape and coastal scenery around his home in North Yorkshire and on painting trips around Britain and abroad. Robert's work has featured in many books and publications. 264 colour
