Composition of Outdoor Painting by Edgar A. Payne, 2019, Hardback

A beautifully presented hardback edition of Composition of Outdoor Painting by Edgar A. Payne - a much-loved classic on landscape painting, composition and learning how to really look at the natural world. Originally published in 1941, Payne’s book explores the principles behind creating a successful outdoor painting, illustrated throughout with examples of landscapes, sketches and works by other artists. This later 2019 printing brings together his original teachings in a particularly lovely edition. The deep teal clothbound cover with gilt lettering makes this one feel especially special, as beautiful left out on a coffee table or studio shelf as it is useful to painters, artists and anyone interested in the process of looking, composing and making. A gorgeous book for an artist’s studio, creative home or thoughtful gift for a painter. ISBN 0-939370-11-5 7th Edition Published by DeRu’s Fine Arts
