Superou as minhas expectativas! Parabéns ao autor! Review: It's not very often that I come across a book on painting which is both well written and well illustrated. Most painters aren't writers, which isn't surprising but whch makes their prose about the art of painting wooden and awkward. Not so with Mitchell Albala's book, Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice He writes fluidly and interestingly about the techniques of painting, and while his focus is on oils and acrylics, there is still much in his book for a watercolorist like me. The book is a valuable addition to your art book library, whether you are just starting out or have been painting for years. Albala understands his craft and has thought his way through his presentation. His chapters flow smoothly from one to the next, if you are following his train of thought, or you can pull individual chapters out for a quick refresher, on say, "Simplification and Massing" (Chapter 5) where he looks at the key concept of composition, and how to simplify your work to make it stronger, or "Light and Color" (Chapter 8) where he focuses on the difference between real light and painter's light, and how painters go about achieving the illusion of real light. The illustration he uses from his own work and the work of many other artists, are fine examples of his points. I am often pulled into his descriptions by the illustrations, as I flip through the book looking for an idea or a way into a particular landscape. Lastly, I really like the sidebars he includes in each chapter, with apt quotations from other artists and focusing text on an artistic element which adds depth and intensity to each chapter's focusing discussion. Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice is a keeper. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Amazon Bestseller | #48,767 in Foreign Language Books ( See Top 100 in Foreign Language Books ) #6 in Still Life Painting #51 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching (Foreign Language Books) #60 in Landscape & Seascape Art | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (963) | | Dimensions | 9.33 x 0.79 x 11.3 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0823032205 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0823032204 | | Item Weight | 1.13 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 192 pages | | Publication date | November 17, 2009 | | Publisher | Watson-Guptill | ## Images ![Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81ItIuFpgCL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***O on April 2, 2021* Espetacular!

I have read lots of books on painting. A lot of them focus on the writer' own style but here there are many reproductions from many other artists. Albala's book is the product of an intelligent and experienced artist and teacher. Albala shares his knowledge on many ways to improve your technique, dealing with colour, values, simplification, composition, and working from photographs. . Because of the many helpful tips, I would recommend it highly to anyone interested in painting landscapes. ## Frequently Bought Together - Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice - The Landscape Painter's Workbook: Essential Studies in Shape, Composition, and Color (Volume 6) (For Artists, 6) - The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting: Techniques for Rendering Sky, Terrain, Trees, and Water --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/767622770-landscape-painting-essential-concepts-and-techniques-for-plein-air-studio](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/767622770-landscape-painting-essential-concepts-and-techniques-for-plein-air-studio) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
