As usual Terry gives a brief overview of materials and colours needed for Landscape painting. I found the hints on how to make greens
for foliage and grasses particularly useful as ready mixed greens can be very artificial and not have the softness and reality of tone needed
for foliage. Terry also has his own range of paints and for this book the sunlit gold and autumn gold, and the two shadow colours M
Shadow and Burnt Shadow will be useful for working on the later demonstrations in the book. There's a useful hint on how to adapt
photos for painting – for very long artists have been told not to use photos but as Terry points out we can't always pack up our kit and
get out painting so images taken with our camera when we are out can be usefully turned into a painting back at home. Sometimes one A
photo contains all we need and sometimes we need to combine more than one, and Terry shows us how to do that and what to leave
out or change to make a visually pleasing painting. Terry also has his own range of brushes and shows how to make different marks with
each brush so we can see how to use them while working. T
