A Guide to Drawing and Painting Nature
by Richard McDaniel
Presenting diverse ways to depict nature, this book offers expert guidance for drawing with pencil, pen, ink, and charcoal, and painting with oils and pastels. A comprehensive historical review of the genre - from early European and American schools through impressionism and expressionism to contemporary landscape art - provides artists with a solid understanding of this type of art. Tips and techniques are provided for working outdoors, capturing nature's textures, and rendering the most important landscape components like light and shadow, changing skies and clouds, and rushing and tranquil water. Clear, illustrated, step-by-step demonstrations are included throughout.
