From hazy distant views seen across calm waters to rugged snow-capped peaks, Lesley Linley captures every aspect of upland landscapes and our SAA Practice 300gsm/140lbs paper makes it even easier to create beauty with this definitive guide.

Each of the 32 demonstrations is accompanied by an actual-size tracing that allows you to get the outline and composition right first time and concentrate on the actual work of painting itself. It’s an approach that pays dividends with a successful result every time, building your confidence from the very start.

As well as a full variety of scenes, Lesley demonstrates skies, trees, rocks, water and that elusive quality, atmosphere. She’ll show you how to use brushstrokes and colour to create depth and distance as well as how granulation can depict the effect of heavy rain. You’ll also see how blending warm colours into cool produces recession and how to use this to enhance perspective in distant views.

Each project is simple and short and concentrates on a single topic, with Lesley’s clear instructions making the book easy to follow. If you want to paint mountain and moorland scenes, this is one of the best introductions.
