Description
Artists who wish to explore the world of painting with oils en plein air will love the freshness and vibrancy of the work in this book, as well as the expert, down-to-earth advice of its author. Haidee-Jo takes us through the whole experience, from being there to understanding what’s before us and capturing its essence on canvas.
The first few chapters cover the fundamentals, like choosing the right equipment, but then they go on to discuss how to work in shifting light, how to shoot in several sessions, how to account for the weather, and even how to work with people and include them literally in the shot. A tonne of practice tips are also included, covering everything from composition and colour to planning both on the ground and on the canvas to completing in the studio.
Exercises and examples are provided at every level to help you apply the knowledge you have gained. Street scenes, people, animals, plants, flowers, still lives, and landscapes are among the subjects covered.
This is an extensive and entertaining guide to working outside that reads more like a trip with an old friend than a lesson plan.
