Buildings and Barns

Every artist faces the difficulty of finding and taking good reference photos. In this book, photographer and artist Gary Greene captures an incredible range of architectural subjects, enabling artists to incorporate them into their own work while saving time and money. They'll find a variety of homes, store fronts, railroad stations, barns, school houses, sheds, churches, bridges, towers, gazebos, and more - with hundreds of detailed photos that capture the spirit and character of these subjects, ranging from weathered and rustic to unusual and charming. Six step-by-step demonstrations show artists how to incorporate the featured reference photos into their own work. Each demo focuses on a different medium, including oil, pastel, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic and mixed media.
