Book/DVD Set:
This is not so much a book about how to paint trees, as how to paint scenes with trees in them, & it's all the better for that.
The book comprises no fewer than 24 different scenes, each with an outline tracing & a double-page spread showing the completed work along with notes on the colours used & how some of the specific details were handled. It's a series of ideas rather than a set of exercises to complete &, as such, more suited to those with some experience of the medium.
Geoff has chosen an excellent variety of subjects from the stark shapes of a winter morning's walk to the dappled shade of a woodland in spring, from the warm afternoon sunshine of a Manhattan park to the chilly afterglow of a midwinter evening.
In the accompanying DVD Geoff takes you through the hints & tips which will help you complete the 24 paintings from the book.
He shows you how to tackle a wide range of exciting projects such as how to paint convincing looking reflections in the water, rustic foliage on an autumn willow tree, how to create perspective & scale by adding figures to the landscape & how you can splatter masking fluid to create lively looking fountains.
With Geoff as your guide this excellent book & DVD set is sure to put a spring in your step & you'll realise that learning to paint is easier than you think.
