Books by Deborah Chapin


This book covers a host of painting techniques for the beginner to the professional who paint on location. Depicting nature while totally immersed in nature can be a challenge but this book helps you think about how to maximize your work and opportunities. Taking lessons from Monet to Sorolla I have worked in the field for 30 years. I am giving you the benefit of a myriad of experiences from painting florals to painting storm paintings of seascapes on location. Profit from my experience and give yourself a leg up. Paint with confidence in all sorts of conditions and all sorts of subjects.
