Foster Caddell's Keys to Successful Landscape Painting: A Problem/Solution Approach to Improving Your Landscape Paintings

Each page shows a demonstration of how Mr Caddell takes a painting and totally improves it with instructions to the reader as how to do it. He uses all his experience to show you how to improve on color, contrast, edges, value and much more. I love my copy and you need this color 1996 edition instead of the older version with black and white paintings.

This is a revised and edited reprint of Caddell's 1976 Landscape Painting Book. The 50 keys in this book contain many of those from the original, but some have been replaced and others shifted in order. Sections of the book have been removed and others added or rewritten. All told, I think this is by far the better book of the two. A very definite plus for this book - the vast majority of the illustrations are color where the majority were b & w in the original. If you own the original and wish the images were in color... many of those same ones are in color in this edition and it's worth having both.
