Keys to Successful Color: A Guide for Landscape Painters in Oil: A Guide for Landscape Painters in O

An Absolute Essential For Every Artist's Bookshelf

Renowned artist Foster Caddell shares the unique methodology behind his extraordinary use of color in this remarkable book, back in print due to popular demand.

Foster Caddell devoted his entire life to his art, beginning with developing a sophisticated drawing technique while in high school. He was employed as a lithographer before serving with the US Army Air Corps in World War II, documenting life in the Pacific Theater with his sketchbook and watercolors. Upon returning to civilian life, Caddell continued working in lithography while engaged with freelance illustrating and portraiture, and he began teaching after being approached by local aspiring artists eager to learn his techniques. From these humble beginnings, Foster Caddell soon became the founder/teacher and CEO of the largest private art school in southern New England, located in Voluntown, Connecticut.
