Non-painters often think that the term "abstract art" refers to something dreamed up in the artist's mind with no relation to nature. Some modern art, called "inventive" is just that, but the abstract painter while not copying nature like a camera, does use an outdoor scene or still-life arrangement as a starting point for his composition. In this book, Paul Wood, a professional painter of many years' experience clarifies the meaning of abstract art as applied to landscapes. He demonstrates its relationship to natural reality by leading you step-by-step through the creation of eleven canvases in eight projects.
