SPACE ART: How to Draw & Paint Planets, Moons & Landscapes of Alien Worlds (P/B)

SPACE ART: HOW TO DRAW AND PAINT PLANETS, MOONS, AND LANDSCAPES OF ALIEN WORLDS. By Michael Carroll.

An Artist's Tour of the Cosmos.

Artists have been imagining otherworldly landscapes for hundreds of years, but only in the past few decades have we begun to learn what other planets and moons really look like, thanks to the ioneering work of scientists and astronauts. SPACE ARt shows artists how to capture and create these partly real, partly imagined vistas by combining the lastest scientific evidence with traditional landscape drawing and painting techniques. In fourteen fully illustrated step-by-step progressions accompanied by NASa photos, author Michael Carroll, one of the country's most distinguished astronomical artists, explains how to paint the sparkling ice mountains of saturn's moons the precipitous canyons of Mars, the thundering volcanoes of a Jupiter moon, and more. Essays and paintings by eight other leading space artists round out this tour of the solar system and beyond.
