BOOK NOTES - November
2006
by Armand Cabrera
It
has been ten years since Kevin McPherson
wrote his first book on painting, Fill Your Oil Paintings
with Light and Color. That book has since become an International
best seller. Much has changed since then, in part due
to artists like Kevin and groups like the Plein Air Painters
of America. The popularity of Plein Air painting has become
astronomical with groups popping up everywhere.
Kevin’s new book, Landscape Painting
Inside and Out, reiterates fundamental ideas
while expanding Kevin’s theories on art and painting.
The book is well designed and the images are large and
beautifully reproduced. There are many step-by-step demonstrations.
The chapters are well organized and cover many aspects
of good painting.
Landscape Painting Inside and Out
also discusses the business side of art--- good suggestions
for getting started in the business---and many tips for
more established painters to reenergize their painting
and getting to the next level.
