New
DVD released March 2008. Joe Francis Dowden shows how to paint a sunset beach on a twilight evening. Straightforward ways of creating soft focus reflections and silhouettes of people, some with single brushstrokes. Includes a Gum Arabic technique. The painting is filmed almost in real-time - 20 minutes. The second of the two projects is a rowing boat on a lake in the moments before dusk, covered with brevity and a simple palette. This DVD is the second to cover projects in Joe’s recent book, “The Landscape Painters Essential Handbook”.

New Book Joe's book, The Landscape Painters Essential Handbook was launched in October 2007 at his Albury exhibition. It contains 50 landscape paintings, the majority designed as "front line" gallery paintings rather than sketchy demonstrations, most of which were featured in the exhibition. The landscapes are international in flavour, with many countries represented - the largest amount of work Joe has published in one book, and the largest number of pictures. "It has been a gigantic project, one that will keep most watercolour painters busy for years. It is suitable for the complete beginner, but professional artists and illustrators are finding things they can use. Thanks very much, David & Charles. Its been great to write this book." Full details of the book can be found here. A paperback edition of "The Landscape Painters Essential Handbook" will be out soon. |
