This book 14 Formulas for Painting Fabulous Landscapes published by North Light Books is available primarily through this website, since North LIght Books has sold out of them.

The book illustrates my procedure from painting a field sketch through compositional revisions to arriving at a successful composition for a "fabulous" landscape painting. It takes the guesswork out of where and how to place the elements and how to simplify the landscape.

According to the book jacket: "Now you can capture all the beauty of nature with a composition that works every time. No matter what medium you work in, this easy-to-follow guide shows you precisely how to put together breathtaking landscapes."

See the ten oil paintings from the book at Landscapes and the four watercolors at Watercolors.

A review on www.amazon.com read "When it comes to capturing the beauty of the great outdoors, it's the composition that really makes or breaks a landscape painting...Many of the composition topics are accompanied by complete painting demonstrations. Readers will come away with all the knowledge they need to link real-world nature scenes with these 14 essential compositions."
