Plein Air Techniques for Artists
Principles and Methods for Painting in Natural Light
Aimee Erickson
Description
Aimee Erickson demystifies how to capture a variety of light effects and guides you in strengthening your plein air skills through practice. This accessible book covers:
- Materials and gear Gain a basic knowledge of the possibilities so you can keep your options open and your plein air process fresh
- Composition and value Explore the impact of proportion, colour, value, line, edges, shape, and texture
- Colour Consider how knowledge and intention, your color palette, and what you see – your perspective – take turns being in charge of the color game, inventing rules and finding solutions
- Light effects Learn how conditions of the day – how much light there is, and whether it’s soft, diffuse, golden, harsh, pale or dusky – affect everything we see and how we paint
- Design and the visual idea Discover strategies for developing a visual idea, from creating serial studies to working with a camera to improvisation.
Featuring exceptional still life, figures and landscapes by other noted artists working in a range of mediums, Plein Air Techniques for Artists gives artists at all levels of experience the guidance they need to grow as a plein air artist.
