Description

Abstract landscape painting expresses emotion while still capturing the essence of a landscape. This compelling book explores this suggestive style first developed by Turner.

Using the hauntingly-beautiful paintings of Gareth Edwards, it explores the technical, historical and psychological dimensions of abstract landscape painting to help you develop your own skillful and intensely personal approach.

  • Learn about how to begin an abstract landscape painting, using chance application
  • Understand how to ‘manage accidents’ to create innovative pieces of work
  • Discover the importance of effective composition and how this navigates the viewer’s journey
  • Determine the importance of the ‘invisible’ elements of painting: the unspoken value of the viewer and the influence of ‘looking’
  • Reveal how to utilize a convergence of linear and atmospheric perspective to help your viewer traverse the picture plane
  • Understand the importance of light, space, colorr, and tone in generating evocative paintings
  • Be more demanding of your surface, using textural techniques and glazing to achieve professional production values
