  • A Modern Master Classic
I bought the Kindle edition of this book and it was a delight to first scroll through the beautiful works of art by some of my favorite painters: Kevin Macpherson, Marc Hanson, Laurie Kersey. Not only that, but they offer their observations and advise on painting in their illustrated demonstrations. The book is not just inspirational, but helpful to artists looking to hone their skills. This will be a book that I will refer back to. I highly recommend adding this book to your artist reference library, whether it's the physical book or the beautiful Kindle edition. You won't be disappointed. ... show more

  • Loved it!
I do so appreciate the advice of these masters. The concept of the book was wonderful to me as a beginner. I've just finished reading it for a second time, it's going to make a great reference.

  • Camille Przewodek Does a Demo!
I'm a big fan of Camille Przewodek's colorist houses, but when I tried to find a book written by her, I came up empty. Finally, I discovered this book which has an entire chapter devoted to her along with a demonstration. Invaluable! Also pleased that Kevin MacPherson is included.

  • Varied Help For Oil Painters
This book is a gem. Packed full of useful information from many popular landscape oil painters, it's got all kinds of exciting tips to help you improve your paintings. I'd place this at the top in importance compared to most other books on this subject.

  • Book of Demos
Definitely not the formulaic "how-to" paint something book with the supply chapter first, the studio set-up requirements, and then the meat of the book. This is a book of demos and it's one of the most enjoyable painting books I've ever purchased.
