With the help of reference photos and field sketches, the Claudia shows you how to create realistic and colorful paintings of landscapes ranging from expansive mountain vistas to more intimate vignettes. Various components of landscape paintings are simplified and brought together throughout each chapter into full-page finished landscapes. The tools demonstrated are simple and fun to use plus pen and ink is used to enhance the more highly textured areas of the paintings.
