Paint with passion, purpose and pleasure What do you want your landscape painting to say about this place, this moment? How do you use the visual vocabulary - line, shape, value, color, edges - to say it? With this book, your conversation with nature will direct your brush. With an exhilarating, synergistic combination of indoor and outdoor painting, Kevin Macpherson shows you how to create personal, poetic landscapes that capture the feeling of being there. Learn how to: • Use a limited palette in a way that is more liberating than limiting • Experience nature to the fullest and capture its vibrancy back in the studio through photos, sketches and outdoor studies • Cope with the fleeting qualities of atmosphere and light by establishing a value plan early and sticking with it • Incorporate impressionistic touches of broken color to give your landscape a depth and vibrancy that enhances its realism • Approach painting as a layering and corrective process that encourages non-formulaic solutions Stimulating warm-up exercises in the studio prepare you for your adventures outside, while eight step-by-step demonstrations show you how to put these methods into action. Throughout, Macpherson's own light-filled landscapes illustrate the power of these techniques. Full of fresh air and fresh art, Landscape Painting Inside and Out will guide and encourage beginners while challenging more accomplished artists to bring greater vitality and a more natural, less formulaic finish to their paintings.

The painter that never paints Unfortunately many times in my life, i was acting as my friend ... the painter ... that painter that was never painting It was Paris ... about 4-5 years ago. Someone introduced me a lady, which was a painter ... a very smart lady ... a genius i could say and it was a pleasure to spent time with her. We became friends. We started to go out everyday to the amazing coffees shops from the central area ... the ones close to the Seine and we were talking for hours. She was telling me about her next paintings and was describing me in tiny details all the elements of the scenes. Had an amazing way of talking ... but also knew a lot about art. In few weeks ... me ... a guy that did not knew anything about art, started to understand what is the whole meaning of art in our lives. Soon i understand that she is not painting anymore, cause, for the moment, she does not have the necessary money for painting materials .... and right away i give her an amount that she could start again. I also promise her to not worry, cause i will give as much as she needs to continue her work. Few days later, i dare to ask her if she started to work on the paintings that she was telling me about ... and suddenly she became very annoyed. Not understanding what is really going on ... being a polite person ... i succeed to change the subject and we continued in a nice way our conversation while drinking the amazing parisian coffee, but few days later i ask her again the same question. Suddenly she changed her face and became so angry that i thought for a second that she wants to ... kill me. I could not understand what was wrong. I was asking a painter if she was started to paint ... cause now she had the money for the materials. Again i succeed to avoid the useless conflict with her, but going to her apartment, which was small like any parisian apartment ... i see no painting materials. In the end she tells me that the materials will come in few more days, cause it was a delay to her order, but also asks if i can give her some extra money, for another order also. I smile ... cause in Paris you find painting materials in the city center and she could buy them right away ... but i give her the money she asked for. Before leaving the apartment, in the last second ... i see drugs on the small table from the entrance. I smile again ... and understood she used the money to buy drugs instead of materials. I saw at her house about 15 paintings and indeed she was a great painter, but she was the painter that was actually never painted. I leave ... and i get mad. It was all a trap. I was fooled like a 5 years old kid by this lady and actually i was helping her to take drugs ... without realizing not even for a second what i am doing. She called me later on ... 100 times, but never answer her back. Even told me that she will go to the Police to make a complain against me ... but could not clearly understand why. One year later, i accidentally meet her near the Opera ... and she was pretending that she did not knew my name anymore. I smile ... we exchange 2-3 words and i leave. But one day, 2 years later ... i was meditating again over the subject for about 2 weeks. Something was unclear for me ... and did not knew what and why. I judged her too much ... but maybe i was also the painter that never paints ... many, many, many times in my life. My parents supported me to study at the University of Polytechnics ... but i was not going to courses and instead i was losing my time in the coffee shops all day long. I was the student that never went to classes ... and i was doing same as the painter that was never painting. I complete University, i open a company and i had so many clients that sometimes i took money from my clients, spent them ... and forget to deliver the promised services to the clients. It was such a chaos at that time, that it was a total mess with the orders ... so ... i was doing what??! I was the businessman that promised to deliver some services that were never delivered. I was judging the painter ... but i was worst as her. The list with my silly mistakes from life ... was huge. I remember i read hundreds of books of personal growth ... and one day i even read a lot about management if conflicts ... and guess what i did next after i finished studying that subject?! I laugh ... while writing to you ... cause what i did was that i had more and more useless conflicts with the people from my life. So ... the best definition of myself could probably be the same as that silly lady ... the painter that never paints.

Since cinema's earliest days, literary adaptation has provided the movies with stories; and so we use literary terms like metaphor, metonymy and synecdoche to describe visual things. But there is another way of looking at film, and that is through its relationship with the visual arts – mainly painting, the oldest of the art forms. Art History for Filmmakers is an inspiring guide to how images from art can be used by filmmakers to establish period detail, and to teach composition, color theory and lighting. The book looks at the key moments in the development of the Western painting, and how these became part of the Western visual culture from which cinema emerges, before exploring how paintings can be representative of different genres, such as horror, sex, violence, realism and fantasy, and how the images in these paintings connect with cinema. Insightful case studies explore the links between art and cinema through the work of seven high-profile filmmakers, including Peter Greenaway, Peter Webber, Jack Cardiff, Martin Scorsese, Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino and Stan Douglas. A range of practical exercises are included in the text, which can be carried out singly or in small teams. Featuring stunning full-color images, Art History for Filmmakers provides budding filmmakers with a practical guide to how images from art can help to develop their understanding of the visual language of film.

From T.J. Clark comes this provocative study of the origins of modern art in the painting of Parisian life by Edouard Manet and his followers. The Paris of the 1860s and 1870s was a brand-new city, recently adorned with boulevards, cafés, parks, Great Exhibitions, and suburban pleasure grounds—the birthplace of the habits of commerce and leisure that we ourselves know as "modern life." A new kind of culture quickly developed in this remade metropolis, sights and spectacles avidly appropriated by a new kind of "consumer": clerks and shopgirls, neither working class nor bourgeois, inventing their own social position in a system profoundly altered by their very existence. Emancipated and rootless, these men and women flocked to the bars and nightclubs of Paris, went boating on the Seine at Argenteuil, strolled the island of La Grande-Jatte—enacting a charade of community that was to be captured and scrutinized by Manet, Degas, and Seurat. It is Clark's cogently argued (and profusely illustrated) thesis that modern art emerged from these painters' attempts to represent this new city and its inhabitants. Concentrating on three of Manet's greatest works and Seurat's masterpiece, Clark traces the appearance and development of the artists' favorite themes and subjects, and the technical innovations that they employed to depict a way of life which, under its liberated, pleasure-seeking surface, was often awkward and anxious. Through their paintings, Manet and the Impressionists ask us, and force us to ask ourselves: Is the freedom offered by modernity a myth? Is modern life heroic or monotonous, glittering or tawdry, spectacular or dull? The Painting of Modern Life illuminates for us the ways, both forceful and subtle, in which Manet and his followers raised these questions and doubts, which are as valid for our time as for the age they portrayed.
