description: From award-winning painter David Curtis comes a fabulous on-the-page oil painting course, with all the techniques needed to work outdoors—in every type of weather—as well as in the studio. Through finished pieces and stage-by-stage examples, students learn how to capture the subtle effects of light and mood and achieve expressive, original results. There’s expert guidance on choosing materials, mastering different styles, selecting ideas, creating a good composition, and using color and tone. Curtis pays special attention to drawing skills and interpreting the qualities of light, while his wonderfully evocative landscapes, coastal scenes, interiors, and figure compositions provide inspiration.
