Watson-Guptill, 1984 . ISBN: 0823036553. -152 pages . PDF
Painting the Landscape is a book of rare beauty and amazing variety. Twenty-three artists working in 23 distinct styles demonstrate exactly what it is they do, why they do it, and how they do it. Over 200 stunning illustrations are integrated with a masterful text that chronicles the working methods of each artist and then closely examines the artists' finished work, which is supplemented by preliminary sketches, works in progress, and details from finished paintings. Many artists have suggested assignments and projects to better enable the reader to experiment with various ideas and techniques that previously may have seemed inaccessible.
