Painters have long observed the way in which different places have their own special light, and nowadays air travel has made it even easier to compare the light of one country or region with that of another. This book shows, in words and pictures, how an artist reacts to light in some of the most beautiful, picturesque places in the world. Illustrated with over 70 of the author's paintings and sketches, this book will teach you how to improve your technique, and shows you how to see the world through the eyes of a painter. The examples include the Greek Islands, Snowdonia, the mud kasbahs of Morocco, old mansions in North Carolina and a buffalo cart in a village in Goa, as well as many others.
