Review: The thumbnails illustrate the many composition formats described in the text. - This book is dense with insights. Composition has been a mystery to me as I can tell when it's working in a picture, but it's been like a magic trick because I didn't know how to compose a picture effectively myself. This book tells you how, and the informal thumbnail sketches are really useful as they illustrate the compositions described in the text. This book helps me understand the composition part of why I might particularly like a painting even when the artist's technical style might not appeal to me. I am enjoying this book and finding it valuable, and it's all new to me. Review: It is a reference - Well it’s an impressive reference and fun to flip through, it might come in handy when I start painting again. But it is comprehensive! ## Features - illustrations ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #29,315 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #17 in Landscape Painting #407 in Textbooks (Special Features Stores) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 488 Reviews | ## Images ![Composition of Outdoor Painting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81HkpeqTdcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The thumbnails illustrate the many composition formats described in the text. *by H***R on August 18, 2025* This book is dense with insights.

But it is comprehensive! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome info!!! *by J***K on January 26, 2023* Please remember in print there's no inflection of voice. Not trying to be a jerk BUT, lots of people complained about the lack of color examples. I am nobody, but my understanding of all two dimensional art is 1 composition and perspective 2 light and shadow and 3 get your values right. All of these are addressed extremely competently! This is not a coffee table book. This is for those who have DEDICATED themselves to art! Here are successful paintings, from various artists, broken down as greyscale values for you! Invaluable! I live in Florida and our stormy days are an ugly gray skies! I grew up in Wisconsin, and storms there were bruised plum, indigo, and some pinks. The clouds were so heavy and close, a child could touch them. So, where are YOU? Are you in Chinese yellow smog? Brown / gray LA smog? Stark Mexican sun? Arid desert? Steely blue/ gray English countryside? That's where YOUR color palette comes in! I agree with another reviewer. This is the Bible! I hope this helps you to see the immense value of this book! The principals stand up for every subject( flowers, portraits, city scapes, seaside villages nestled in bluffs, superheroes looking down on menacing cities...) The $50 was painful, but well spent and completely worth it! ## Frequently Bought Together - Composition of Outdoor Painting - Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting - Edgar Payne: The Scenic Journey --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61859437-composition-of-outdoor-painting](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/61859437-composition-of-outdoor-painting) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-13*
