Author Notes

Fraser aims to convey through paint the actual experience of being in a place, always trying to avoid the clichés and pitfalls inherent in landscape art. His practice is based upon a strong foundation in drawing and strict observation. He makes drawings in situ to capture the energy and dynamism of a place or experience, then uses these drawings to inform the painting process where, through the use of marks, texture and colour, his aim is to create atmospheric but true representations of the landscape.

Library Journal Review

Artist Palmer's book introduces a method of digital picture-making that can feel very similar to traditional painting but harnesses the advantages and conveniences of tablet computers. The first half of the guide covers the basics: materials, which consist solely of a tablet or a smart phone and a special stylus with a brush tip; general and landscape-specific techniques; commonly used apps and how they work; and building a picture using digital layers. The book's second half provides several step-by-step landscape projects. Palmer includes lots of clever advice, and readers can also scan a QR (Quick Response) code to view tips on video. -VERDICT Anyone who has wondered how they could squeeze a bit of creativity out of their tablet or smartphone will enjoy this book. © Copyright 2016.
