Landscape painting: Esential concepts and Techniques for plein air and studio practiceBy artdocThis book is extremely helpful to the student of landscape painting although not a replacement for having a good teacher. It presented practical issues such as how to prepare for plein air painting as well as dealing with the simplification necessary to achieve a pleasing result. It could also be a good review for the experienced painter and encourages trying new ways to solve problems. The section on digital photography was an interesting one and I was glad the author does not advocate painting from photos but has found ways to use photography to enhance the landscape painting experience and to define values rather than for slavish copying.The illustrations alone make this book worth buying. Each one beautifully illustrates a point made in the text but they are all lovely and inspires one to go out and paint.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Must HaveBy L. J. ValentineThis book rocks!! From plein air to studio you will learn fantastic tidbits of information that he just throws in. I was amazed at what I learned even though Ive been painting a long time0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Must have landscape bookBy CEThis book is beautifully written; organized and printed. It is a pleasure to read even if you arent a painter but merely someone wanting to know more about landscape painting. Mitch Albala has reduced the art of landscape composition and painting to their very essence. The writing is pristine; the illustrations and instruction are very clear. The large number of contemporary landscape painters used throughout the book as illustration introduce the reader to many contemporary landscape painters. I highly recommend this book.
