New Book: Beautiful Landscape Painting Outdoors



After almost a year of work, I'm happy to announce that you can now pre-order my new book, Beautiful Landscape Painting Outdoors: Mastering Plein Air, from Amazon.  The book hits the streets March 1, 2022, but by ordering it now, you'll make sure to get a copy.  I expect it will sell out fast.

Why?  Because this is the comprehensive guide to painting outdoors.  It gives you everything you need to know about plein air painting, from A to Z.  Fifteen master artists share their knowledge—and their secrets—in this 160-page book that is packed with demonstrations in the major mediums, helpful techniques and many, many, many gorgeous images.  

I've written the book so both beginner and advanced painters will benefit from it.  If you're a beginner, you'll learn everything you need to get started and, better yet, how to have an enjoyable and satisfying experience.  If you're an advanced painter, you'll learn the tricks that the masters learned the hard way, through long experience.  (All you have to do is read the book!)

So who are these master artists?  They are:

Rob Adams / UK / oil
Tony Allain / UK / pastel
Lyn Asselta / US /pastel
Marcia Burtt / US / acrylic
Lorenzo Chavez / US / oil
Nathan Fowkes / US / watercolor
Marc Hanson / US / acrylic 
Michael Chesley Johnson / US / gouache & oil
Margaret Larlham / US / pastel
Calvin Liang / US / oil
Kim Lordier / US / pastel
Mark E. Mehaffey / US / acrylic
Sandra Nunes / Brazil / pastel
Stephen Quiller / US / watercolor
Colley Whisson /Australia / oil

With a lineup like this, I expect the book to become one of the classics. Don't wait!  You can get it here: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Landscape-Painting-Outdoors-Mastering/dp/1684620457
