My first 2 books. SOLD OUT, and copies will be worth a fortune. Lol Both extremely hard to come by, sorry. |
---|
“Creative Illustration” By Andrew Loomis |
---|
“Alla Prima; Everything I Know About Painting” Richard Schmid |
---|
“The Art Spirit” Robert Henri This book contains countless invaluable thoughts and notes that Henri’s students took during his lessons. |
---|
“Composition of Outdoor Painting” Edgar Payne This book is packed with great information about what I have come to think of as the most difficult aspect of painting, composition. Payne writes in a style that is a bit dated, but beautifully structured prose on every aspect of designing shapes within the picture plane. . |
---|
“Fill Your Oil Paintings With Light and Color” Kevin McPherson This is a book that I recommend because of the keen sense that Macpherson has of lighting and pulling of light effects naturally and effectively. We are all painters of light, so this book goes in to great depth on the subject. . |

“Landscape Painting Inside and Out” Kevin McPherson Macpherson is an accomplished painter mostly known for his landscapes and his “limited pallet” of colors. The book is a wealth of information on everything from “Value Relationships” to right practice in terms of quickly becoming a better artist. He’s also written a lot about setting up a studio space and the ins and outs of working in a creative place. . |

“Carlson’s Guide to Landscape Painting” John F Carlson Carlson has truly written a gem of a book here. It’s unfortunate that, it being an older book, the illustrations are all in black and white, because the paintings are so “put together.” He writes a great deal on the subject of composition, color, masses, line, value, and form. The book empowers the artist to see in their own unique way, the beauty of their immediate surroundings. He also writes a bit about setting up a studio space and names and defines a lot of the oil painter’s paraphernalia.. |
