Landscape Painting Inside and Out: Capture the Vitality of Outdoor Painting in Your Studio With Oils

Landscape Painting Inside and Out is a comprehensive guide for artists looking to create personal, poetic landscapes that capture the feeling of being there.

With an emphasis on using a limited palette in a liberating way, this book will teach you how to incorporate nature into your painting process through photos, sketches, and outdoor studies.

You'll learn how to cope with fleeting qualities of atmosphere and light by establishing a value plan early and sticking with it, as well as how to incorporate impressionistic touches of broken color to give your landscape a depth and vibrancy that enhances its realism.

The book also includes warm-up exercises in the studio and eight step-by-step demonstrations to help you put these methods into action.

With the guidance of Kevin Macpherson, a highly respected artist and workshop instructor, you'll be able to approach painting as a layering and corrective process that encourages non-formulaic solutions.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist looking to bring greater vitality to your landscapes, Landscape Painting Inside and Out is the perfect resource for you.
