Create paintings with feelingThe Painterly Approach bridges the gap between what you see as an artist, and what you feel.

Clearly illustrates how to choreograph color, value, composition, texture and other fundamental elements to achieve those elusive qualities of mood and emotion Features 9 step-by-step demonstrations (in oil, pastel and acrylic) on capturing a vivid sense of time and place Covers brushstrokes, painting with a palette knife, edge control, shadows and other advanced art techniquesThis book focuses primarily on landscape painting but offers valuable lessons for approaching any subject in a personal and engaging way.
