Incorporate impressionistic touches of broken color to give your landscape a depth and vibrancy that enhances its realism.Cope with the fleeting qualities of atmosphere and light by establishing a value plan early and sticking with it.Experience nature to the fullest and capture its vibrancy back in the studio through photos, sketches and outdoor studies.Use a limited palette in a way that is more liberating than limiting.With an exhilarating, synergistic combination of indoor and outdoor painting, Kevin Macpherson shows you how to create personal, poetic landscapes that capture the feeling of being there. What do you want your landscape painting to say about this place, this moment? How do you use the visual vocabulary - line, shape, value, color, edges - to say it? With this book, your conversation with nature will direct your brush.
