The Landscape Painter’s Workbook is the definitive hands-on guide to the time-honored techniques and essential elements of landscape painting.

Written by celebrated landscape artist, instructor, and author Mitchell Albala, this richly informative and beautifully illustrated volume leads you step by step through his approach to the genre, from establishing a composition using basic shapes to applying time-tested color strategies, with all-new lessons, practical exercises, and special topics, including:

- The Complete Color Strategy. What are the three aspects of color contrast that guide a painting’s strategy?
- Notan. Explore this special type of compositional study, which identifies the underlying shapes and patterns of a composition.
- Picture Formats. How does the picture format — horizontal, vertical, or square — affect the composition? What are the pros and cons of each?
- Color Grouping. A full chapter details this special practice, which helps maintain harmony by organizing colors into a limited number of groups.
- Composition. An in-depth review of variation, movement, and active negative space, with illustrations that diagram the action in each example.
- Workshop Exercises. Instead of demonstrations that show how the author paints, The Landscape Painter’s Workbook includes 10 skill-building workshop exercises to help you work through essential lessons on your own.

With examples of work by 45 contemporary landscape painters — more than 80 paintings in all — ​in oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor, the lessons are suitable for all mediums. Each painting is thoroughly analyzed in terms of shape, composition, or color, with supporting diagrams, thumbnails, and photographs.

The Landscape Painter’s Workbook inspires and informs all artists, from aspiring to accomplished, on how to successfully portray the majesty and subtlety of the natural world.

The For Artists series expertly guides and instructs artists at all skill levels who want to develop their classical drawing and painting skills and create realistic and representational art.

Про авторів:

3dtotal було засновано в 1999 році як простий веб-сайт із ресурсами 3D. За останнє десятиліття сайт перетворився на один із провідних веб-сайтів CG-мистецтва у світі, пропонуючи різноманітні навчальні продукти, надихаючу галерею, безкоштовну бібліотеку текстур і сотні безкоштовних посібників із різноманітних тем.

У 2006 році компанія 3dtotal уклала партнерські відносини з Focal Press і запустила популярну серію книг Digital Art Masters та Digital Painting Techniques. Головною метою цих книг було надання високоякісного вмісту, який би надихав і навчав наступне покоління цифрових художників. Завдяки роботі найкращих професіоналів галузі, докладним посібникам і розбивці зображень ці серії міцно закріпилися як незамінні ресурси для будь-якого цифрового художника.

Після п’яти успішних років співпраці з Focal Press на початку 2010 року було запущено 3dtotal Publishing. Окрім самостійного видання наступних томів уже існуючих серій Digital Art Masters та Digital Painting Techniques. , 3dtotal Publishing випустило ряд нових назв, зокрема: Sketching from the Imagination, Beginner's Guide to Digital Painting in Photoshop та ZBrush Characters and Creatures.

Про художника:

Lois van Baarle малює з того дня, як вона вміла тримати олівець, і почала вчитися малювати цифровим способом у 2003 році. Хоча вона народилася в Голландії та має голландське громадянство, вона жила по всьому світу, включаючи Сполучені Штати, Індонезію, Францію та Бельгію. Після закінчення середньої школи в 2004 році вона протягом року вивчала анімацію в Генті (Бельгія), а потім повернулася на батьківщину, щоб вивчати анімацію в Hogeschool Voor de Kunsten Utrecht (HKU) в Гілверсумі. Зараз вона є незалежним ілюстратором та аніматором в Утрехті (Нідерланди).

Приготуйтеся дивуватися! Усередині цієї неймовірної, барвистої колекції знаходяться сотні найпотужніших оптичних ілюзій світу. Вони прекрасні на вигляд і приголомшливі своєю хитрістю. Деякі з приголомшливих зображень ніби починають діяти, вібруючи, пульсуючи та обертаючись, як хулахуп. Інші неоднозначні ілюзії об'єднують два сюжети в одному: цікаве полягає в тому, щоб знайти їх обох на одному зображенні — зокрема мишу, яка грає в хованки перед котячою мордочкою, і дивний пустельний міраж, де пальми непомітно перетворюються на верблюдів. І ще більше, як-от «Неможлива тераса», яка не могла б існувати поза сторінкою: просто спробуйте зрозуміти, чи дивитеся ви на простір зверху чи знизу. Усі вражають.

Незалежно від того, чи ви — працюючий художник, який хоче дізнатися більше про цю галузь, чи початківець дизайнер персонажів, щойно закінчив середню школу, The Ultimate Guide to Character Design with Stephen Silver надасть вам глибокий погляд на процес створення персонажів, а також інструменти, необхідні для створення власних ефективних персонажів.
