Overview

A trio of projects that teaches technique while celebrating nature's beauty

From capturing light and reflections in water to building up the vibrant colors of a Mediterranean landscape or the delicate mood of morning mist, the three step-by-step demonstrations in this resource show aspiring painters how to get started with oils and create landscapes filled with compelling atmosphere and interest. Each of the three stunning designs is broken down into easily achievable small steps, ensuring that even novices will overcome common misconceptions associated with this advanced medium and produce beautiful, detailed landscapes for the growing portfolios. Illuminating the interplay of light within the context of painting, each plan offers an imaginative use of color as well as an investigation into impasto—the thick application of paint directly to the canvas.
