All landscape painters like to paint directly from nature and here Alwyn and June Crawshaw show the reader how to deal with all the problems of painting outdoors, even the weather! The book is divided into different sections, each dealing with a popular aspect of landscape painting: coping with changing light; working with greens; painting trees and water; creating atmosphere; working in a hot climate; and painting complicated scenes. Forty step-by-step demonstrations in the most popular painting mediums are included.
