For acclaimed artist John Hammond, successful paintings marry confident technique to a strong evocation of individual sensibility and a fully realized sense of place. In this stunningly illustrated guide, featuring 100 of his own paintings, Hammond reveals the secrets of finding striking subjects and explains how to bring beautiful scenes to life through the use of design, color, and composition. Each chapter ends with a detailed “picture analysis” in which the artist dissects one of his own paintings to highlight the major points of the chapter.

John Hammond studied at Wimbledon School of Art and Bath Academy of Art. He began working as a professional artist in 1982, and his paintings have attracted interest ever since, with sell-out exhibitions in the UK's best galleries. He is the author of the bestselling Capturing light in Acrylics. Robin Capon is an experienced art journalist, having written and co-written several books, including (with David Curtis) David Curtis: Light and Mood in Watercolour and (with Claire Hannigan) Abstract and Colour Techniques in Painting. He is a regular contributor to The Artist and Leisure Painter.
