Summary "You will learn how to paint the colors of the seasons and the times of the day, how to observe and record color, and how to harmonize and design the colors you see into a dramatic statement-in short, how to use color successfully. After a brief introduction to the book, Caddell describes his materials and tools, paints, and color theories, and demonstrates how he paints a typical landscape. Then, using 26 paintings covering all the seasons and the times of the day, and all reproduced in full color, Caddell describes the particular problems he faced when painting each scene. Each problem is shown in two details. In the first detail, Caddell illustrates the key by analyzing how most students typically solve the problem, and then he compares it with his own solution. Each solution gives you an other important key to using color successfully in your landscape paintings! In the last part of the book, Caddell compares four photographs with the landscape paintings they inspired, showing you how to transform nature's beauty into art."--BOOK JACKET
