Full Description
The author of this title has developed 14 compositional formats that are key to a refined and pleasing painting. Each of the 14 formats helps artists successfully paint any particular picture type or landscape or solve a particular problem, such as arranging shapes in a close-up situation or arranging masses together in a pyramid or triangle shape. Each format is clearly presented and there are seven step-by-step full painting demonstrations, five in oil and two in watercolour, to solidify the reader's understanding of how a particular design can be used.
