Whether you find a digital version to scroll through on your iPad or save up for the heavy, cloth-bound physical edition, The Landscapes is a roadmap for any artist who wants to move past "copying nature" and start "interpreting light."
This is the old-school solution. Many university art libraries (Rhode Island School of Design, Academy of Art University) hold copies of Schmid’s limited edition books. You can request an Interlibrary Loan (ILL) to your local library. Once you get the physical book, you can scan 1-2 pages for personal reference (fair use), but not the entire volume. richard schmid the landscapes pdf
