ART 2210/2220 - NWC PAINTING I & II - Art Department - NWC Reserve

The whys and hows of the various aspects of landscape painting: angles and consequent values, aerial and linear perspective, painting of trees, emotional properties of line and mass in composition, light, unity of tone, plus information on canvas, palette, brushes, more. 34 black-and-white reproductions of paintings by Carlson. 58 explanatory diagrams.

Concise, practical, and inspirational, "Landscape Painting" focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as color and metaphor, composition and design, and simplification. 200 full-color and 30 b&w photographs.

"While most sketching guides leave the artist with static bowls of fruit and boring vases of flowers to develop their skill, Urban Sketching takes its inspiration from the living, breathing world around us."--Back cover.
