Aimed at landscape painters with some previous experience, artist Susan Sarback's hour-long how-to will help viewers “achieve the radiant, full-spectrum color of the Impressionists in [their] landscape paintings--each and every time.” Capturing the changing light of a California landscape by painting the same scene at different times of the day, Ms. Sarback initially concentrates on mass rather than detail, visually scanning landscape masses to see how the colors compare and contrast before refining the color to reach the desired luminosity (much like the Impressionists). Excellent pacing, clear explanations, and a fresh approach to the topic combine to make this useful program a solid addition to the legion of art instruction videos. Recommended. Aud: J, H, C, P. (S. Fisher)
