The book begins with a review of the thinking and the techniques that go into a typical landscape painting from the initial gathering of reference material and the selection of a subject to the actual stages of the painting process. The fifteen chapters that follow clarify the essential theories that lie behind those seemingly simple stages of visualizing the idea, composing it, establishing the basic value foundation, blocking in the color harmony, and refining the details. Using her own paintings as examples supplemented by diagrams, studies, chart, photographs of the original inspiring landscape, and occasionally brief stepbystep breakdowns of initial stages Kessler shows what makes a good painting, or a poor one. Every chapter ends with a handy box of question, which will serve to identify the weaknesses and strengths in your own painting.
