Editorial Reviews

Texture makes the difference between run-of-the-mill landscapes, and paintings that spring to life. In Creating Textured Landscapes with Pen, Ink and Watercolor, pen and ink is used to add depth, impact and textural contrast - the key to realism in landscape painting. With the help of reference photos and field sketches, the author shows how to create realistic and colorful paintings of landscapes ranging from expansive mountain vistas to more intimate vignettes. Various components of landscape paintings are simplified for the reader and brought together throughout each chapter into full-page finished landscapes, giving readers a goal to work towards. The tools demonstrated are simple and fun to use plus pen and ink is used to enhance the more highly textured areas of the paintings.

Excellent book. It is a reference book which is very helpful in various techniques. How to paint a tree (provides various tree types, various textures such as rocks, wood, etc.

This book was recommended in my Watercolor class and most of the students purchased it. We were all very impressed with the book as it covers all textures and provides instructions on how to get the proper textures.
