Artist's Photo Reference: Water & Skies

by Bart Rulon, Rulon

Artists can't always wait for perfect weather and lighting conditions to paint a dramatic sky, or drive to a distant coast to paint a stunning seascape. That's why reference photos are so essential--they save artists hours of time, frustration and unnecessary work. The Artist's Photo Water and Skies makes finding those much-needed images easy, by placing hundreds of magnificent, high-quality photos at the artist's fingertips. Streams, rivers, waterfalls, waves and breathtaking cloud formations are just some of the themes that will be sure to spark creativity. Also included are 6 step-by-step demonstrations by a variety of artists, painted from some of the actual photos included in the book. A special introductory section instructs readers on how to take their own inspiring photos.
