Many artists aspire to create a vibrant, impressionistic style of painting. Master painter Kevin Macpherson has developed an effective approach to capturing nature's glorious colors and luminosity in oils, and here he shares his techniques in complete step-by-step demonstrations. Following his use of bold, direct brushstrokes and careful composition, artists will learn to work in a loose, painterly style as they create spectacular oil paintings with rich, glowing tones. A master of painting outdoors and a regular instructor at the Scottsdale Artists' School, Kevin knows the best way for one artist to learn from another artist is on the canvas. He lets his paintings do a lot the teaching in this book—including step-by-step demonstrations, painting exercises, and galleries of his work. You'll learn how to capture the character of a still life or landscape scene quickly and accurately, in bold, direct brushstrokes. Includes terrific chapters on PLEIN AIR and POCHADE painting.
