Critics Review
‘Ken Salaz has produced a remarkably thorough book on landscape painting. He covers the foundation that every landscape painter needs to master: drawing, color, composition, perspective, atmosphere, illumination, field sketching, and studio painting. His explanations are clear and the diagrams and illustrations are helpful. This book will be a great help to young artists and professionals alike.’ - Jacob Collins
About The Author
Ken Salaz
Ken Salaz was born in 1970 in southern California and spent his youth living in numerous locations with his family, including Mexico, the Southwest United States, and the Appalachian mountains. He spent several years traveling the world, through Asia, Central and South America, and Europe, painting landscapes. He studied with Leonid Gervitz and Jacob Collins.
His work and processes have been featured many times in notable magazines and publications such as Fine Art Connoisseur, and his work was recently selected for the spring cover of PleinAir magazine. Mr. Salaz is seen by many as a new and unique voice emerging from a realistic tradition, yet he is breaking new ground with his own modern interpretation of Poetic Realism.
In addition to being a masterful artist, Mr. Salaz is a highly accomplished magician, mentalist, and professional pickpocket, entertaining such celebrities as Bruce Springsteen and Jimmy Fallon. He currently lives with his wife Camie Salaz and their son in the beautiful Hudson River Valley.
