Wendon Blake (Paintings by George Cherepov)
As in the other popular Wendon Blake step-by-step painting guides published by Dover, the focal point of this beautifully illustrated, easy-to-follow guide is a 32-page section in full color. This includes 10 step-by-step demonstrations devoted to landscape colors, and the development of seven varied landscape paintings-showing the reader how to paint trees, mountains, meadows, streams, ponds, clouds, and sunsets. Other sections offer expert practical advice about selecting colors and mediums, brushes, palettes, and other equipment; about the varying uses of bristle and softhair brushes; and about some of the problems the beginning landscape artist may face in depicting trees, mountains, and snow. Readers will also find a wealth of tested tips on selecting landscape subjects, composition, lighting, linear and aerial perspective, and ways to model and give texture to the landscape elements. Whether they are just beginning or have been working in oils for years, painters who long to create their own landscape masterpieces will find this book an indispensable resource, and will find George Cherepov's illustrative paintings inspirational and worthy of close study.
