Book Reviews of Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting
Book Review: Superb instructional book
Summary: 5 Stars
I have read many books on how to paint over the years and some have been more or less useful. This book however is in a league apart. I would go as far as to say that if I had had just a small part of the information contained in these pages when I needed my painting would have improved years ago. If you want to understand how to paint landscapes effectively and understand the importance of sound basic principles and technique, don't hesitate, buy this book.
