Description
Landscapes in Oil: A Contemporary Guide to Realistic Painting in the Classical Tradition by Ken Salaz is a comprehensive guide to classical landscape painting for the 21st century. Drawing from the Hudson River School tradition, Salaz shares his philosophy and methods, updating classic approaches for contemporary painters. This book provides step-by-step demonstrations, techniques, and advice on fundamental elements of landscape painting, including drawing, value, color, composition, and light quality. Salaz also emphasizes the importance of plein air drawing and painting, demonstrating how to translate small studies into full-scale studio paintings. With detailed breakdowns of his own paintings, Salaz explores the ideas behind every decision a landscape painter must make. With its focus on creating compelling images that express humanity's connection to nature, Landscapes in Oil is a valuable resource for painters of all levels, from beginners to advanced artists.
