Kevin Macpherson
Painting a Landscape
from a Small Study
Internationally
acclaimed author and painter Kevin Macpherson is a natural
teacher of plein-air painting .And no wonder, since he had
a lifetime habit of painting outdoors. In his two-hour oil-painting
demonstration Kevin tackles what he days many aspiring artists
consider a problematic subject-a landscape filled with greens.
The landscape in question is a wooded pond with a mountainous
backdrop situated near his New Mexico home and, consequently,
one Kevin has repeatedly tackled. Here the renowned artist
uses one of his original on site studies to inspire and
inform a larger, more finished painting. The results are
glorious. In fact, you could say Kevin wrote the book on
painting luminous landscapes because he literally did. His
North Light publications, "Fill Your Oil Paintings
with Light and Color", is an international bestseller.
Whether through a book of before a live audience, Kevin;s
communication style gets the message across clearly: When
it comes to successful painting, there is no formula to
be memorized but there are key concepts to be mastered.
Few painters demonstrate these keys as authoritatively as
Kevin does and all the more so because his delightful personality
makes them easy to absorb.
