book
Painting the Spirit of Nature
(FIRST EDITION - FIRST PUBLISHED, 1984, in New York by Wat...)
FIRST EDITION - FIRST PUBLISHED, 1984, in New York by Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc., a Division of Billboard Publications, Inc. Hardcover with dust jacket. Author, Maxine Masterfield. Has cloth boards and shows some yellowing or aging on the board color. The spine is tight and straight, the pages are clean and free of tears and marks. Total 144 pages. Approximate size is 8.25 x 11. Contains 50 black and white illustrations and 120 color plates. Manufactured in Japan. Edited by Bonnie Silverstein. There is a couple light tan soil spots on the inside front two pages, not bad. The dust jacket flaps are taped to the inside boards by the previous owner. The only other negative is that the dust jacket shows some partially crackle look where the mylar has aged, does not affect the illustration on the dust jacket nor the book itself. Very minor shelf wear. Contents include: Demonstrations of basic techniques; Materials and equipment; color and composition; abstract naturalism; form and texture; painting out - simplifying the foreground by painting out; collage and monoprint; finding new directions; experimenting with new materials; letting a painting create itself and much more! A very good art book! Priced quite reasonable for its worth too! *3BC2

In Harmony with Nature: Painting Techniques for the New Age
(The theme of this book is the bond between the artist and...)
The theme of this book is the bond between the artist and nature; when an artist responds to, understands, and is in tune with the elements, a harmony results that manifests itself in his or her art. By working in accord with nature and following its inexorable rhythms, one can achieve paintings that emulate its specific textures and forms. Through step-by-step instruction, Masterfield introduces such novel techniques as painting with sand, working with filaments and fibres, creating crystal forms, solar painting, layering and weaving, and reflection and symmetry. The final chapter considers creative ways of viewing nature. The book includes nature photographs, in-process illustrations, and finished art by Masterfield and a host of other artists.
