Description

Kevin Scully
Format: Paperback

Working en plein-air is a French term that means literally 'in the open air' and, although artists have been doing just that for centuries, the concept is experiencing a resurgence today. Sketchers and painters alike are leaving their studios and heading out into the open air. This book encourages you to join them.

Full of in-depth advice and practical instruction, it explains how to make the most of painting outside and how to capture the very essence of a scene with a far greater authenticity than can be achieved when working from a second-hand image.

- Covers an array of mediums including pencils, pastels, pens, watercolours, oils and acrylics.
- Advises on the best materials and accessories, from sketchbooks to easels.
- Suggests suitable locations and subject matter including landscapes, seascapes and people.
- Explains the importance of good composition, colour harmony, tonal values and perspective.
- Encourages the exploration of new ideas by examining other artists' work, and the development of personal style.
