Item description from seller

Inscribed "Best Wishes Lois Griffel". Signed copies rarely offered. In Painting the Impressionist Landscape, Lois Griffel, the current director of The Cape Cod School of Art and an accomplished artist in her own right, explores and illustrates Hawthornes philosophy and theories about color and light, enabling artists at every level of ability and experience to apply his insights to their own work. The first part of the book, Fundamentals of Color and Light, elaborates on the circumstances and individuals that contributed to the development of impressionism. The author then outlines the progression of the study of color and light that is covered in detail later in the book, from simple block studies the most effective way to learn to use pure color to express the effects and quality of light through the more complex rounded forms in still lifes and portraits, to the most challenging forms intrinsic to landscape. Griffel then discusses the essentials of color its terms, the impressionist palette, and color mixing as well as how established color theory expresses and influences the impressionist approach. The second part of the book, Impressionism in Practice, takes readers through a series of explorations that guides them toward a mastery of the impressionist landscape. Griffel begins by itemizing the materials that artists need to prepare for painting outdoors and describing how the light of the setting affects color within the context of a composition. The detailed chapters on the studies from sunny day and cloudy day blocks, to still lifes and portraits, culminating in landscapes are all structured to lead readers through each step, enabling them first to evaluate, then eventually realize in their own painting, Hawthornes enlightening perceptions about capturing the radiance of nature's light in art. Beautifully illustrated with the art of the author, her colleagues at the artists colony in Provincetown, and selections by Monet, Sargent, and Hawthorne himself, Painting the Impressionist Landscape is a lively and informative guide to expressing light as color in art. Ms. Griffel has been featured in articles in The Artist's Magazine, The Boston Globe, Cape Cod Life Magazine, Cape Cod Magazine, American Art Review and The NY Times and her paintings graced the cover of American Artist Magazine twice. In the 25th anniversary edition of Cape Cod Life Magazine, she received the honor of being included in the list of "the 400 most influential people in the history of Cape Cod, past and present." Lois Griffel recently received the honor of becoming a Master Signature Artist of the American Impressionist Society. This award has only been given to 15 artists in the United States.
