Embark on a captivating journey through the art of landscape painting with Philip Tyler's masterful guide. This illuminating tome delves into the profound act of truly seeing - both the distant horizons and the depths of one's inner world. Tyler's expertise shines as he unravels the mysteries of capturing the extraordinary within the seemingly ordinary vistas that surround us.
With meticulous attention to detail, the author explores the essential tools, methods, and perspectives required to breathe life into landscape art. From the interplay of light and shadow to the subtle nuances of atmosphere and ever-changing weather, Tyler imparts his wisdom on translating the artist's emotional response onto canvas or paper.
Enriched by the insights and works of other notable artists, this practical compendium offers a comprehensive course of 50 lessons, complete with hands-on exercises to hone one's skills. The text is beautifully complemented by over 300 vibrant colour images, serving as both inspiration and instruction for aspiring and seasoned landscape artists alike.

Sherlock & Pages is a little bookshop with a big heart. We are based in Frome, Somerset, England and curate lists of books in the areas we are passionate about – landscape, nature, history, and heritage. In short, the conservation of all we’ve inherited and all we are responsible to pass on. We aim to inspire and be inspired, to form a literary culture of care and passion about this precious planet we call home.
This is a shop where you might find something you haven’t seen before, and we like to think we’ve got something for everyone. We choose each of our books with care and for a reason. This is because our physical store is small but beautifully formed, holding only around 1200 titles at any one time. We try and recreate the feel of the shop wherever we are online, to reflect our niche categories and personality.
We have an active social media presence and aim to share our story with all our friends. The long-term goal is to build a hub for the books and writers we believe in. Who knows where our adventure will lead but by supporting Sherlock & Pages you’re helping us to add a further layer of magic to our little corner of the world. If you haven’t visited our physical store, one day you might just make a literary pilgrimage down to Somerset.
Our tagline is ‘Long Live the Hedgerows’ and our symbol a hibernating dormouse. If you want to support an independent with a unique character and which will share stories with you for years to come, then choose Sherlock & Pages. The world needs bookshops with soul, for they are ‘citadels of light.’
