Publisher's Synopsis
Every time an artist sets out to paint a landscape, he or she is faced with a barrage of teasing decisions, many of which involve tackling the main elements, such as trees, foliage and flowers. Using step-by-step demonstrations, this book analyses the problems that trees, foliage and flowers raise in landscape painting, showing how to overcome these and capture them on paper. A wide range of painting media are covered including oils, acrylics, watercolour, gouache and pastels. For each of the three sections, elements of detail, quality and colour are examined.
