This is a book that offers inspiration and instruction on using the pure-pigment medium of pastels to translate landscapes into bold, expressive, evocative abstractions. Professional artist and experienced teacher Mark Leach uses pastel to translate beautiful landscapes into striking, minimalist paintings with simple form and strong blocks of color, while still retaining a sense of location and place. His simple techniques demonstrate how to express mood and feeling while moving away from realism toward abstract painting. Practical advice is offered at each stage of development, from composition and balance to working in the studio and on location. Author — Mark Leach. Hardcover. 128 pages. |
