Topics discussed include how to: Create rough and fine textures; convey warm and cool light; paint soil, snow, mountain slopes, trees, cottages, skies, and distance; describe scenes realistically and as abstractions; handle architectural detail and close-ups of farm objects; harmonize and balance contrasting shapes, patterns, and textures; express summer, winter, and spring sunlight and bright, shimmering light; and direct the eye to the center of interest through values, line, and pattern. 40 black-and-white illustrations, 112 color plates, and an index complete the volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Watson-Guptill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984021286965,"sku":"ByrdShop_0823016161","price":47.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780823016167_8219a5cb-710e-4877-aac0-97539492a3bb.jpg?v=1778724337","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/country-landscapes-in-watercolor-9780823016167","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
