| Landscape painting is all about capturing that feeling that embraced you at the scene: the graceful arch of birch trees in the wind, the unthinkable pink masses of ground cover along a seaside trail, the last afternoon sun accenting yellow aspen trees against the foreboding darkness of the clouds. This book will show you how to recreate such moments using edges, shapes, the quality of your brushstrokes, and other tools of your trade.
Learn how to take your viewers to the autumn field, the rainy city afternoon, the heaven-touched mountain stream, and let them taste the same “earthiness” that drew you to the place. Carolyn Lewis will help you elevate your landscape paintings from “pretty” to “breathtaking.” With her instruction and advice you’ll create paintings that capture the mood, feeling and beauty of the place, transporting you and your viewers right into the scene.
