VIDEO: “Landscape Painters Workbook” Special Book Launch Event with Q&A

On September 2, 2021 I gave a live book launch event, hosted by Winslow Art Center. I discuss some of the “essential studies” referred to in the title of the book, such as “complete” color strategies, color grouping, composition, and notan. You’ll also get a sneak peek at some of the 45 painters featured in the book, working in oil, pastel, watercolor, and acrylic. With over 20 minutes of Q&A.

For complete information on the new book, including the Look Inside video, reviews, contents, and contributing artists, visit the Landscape Painter’s Workbook page.
