 A Classic and for very good reasons March 22, 2008
Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting is simply the best all-around reference guide for anyone (beginner to professional artist) interested in mastering landscape painting. Every time I pick up this book I learn something useful regarding making creative, finished paintings. While the writing style is a bit dated, if the reader accepts this as part of the book's charm, it's an easy read. The final chapter is a wonderfully inspiring gift from a master artist.

I have read my copy of this classic many times and make notes in the margins each time I read it. I get something new out of it each time. As mentioned in other reviews there are only black and white reproductions. However, I am more a fan of Carlson's insights into painting than I am of his paintings themselves so for me the lack of color doesn't mar the overall impact of the book. This is one book every landscape painter must read.

This is a must read for all landscape painters who want to get deeper into their understanding of nature and her effects. This book is geared to the realist painter. There are several diagrams which support what Carlson teaches.
 No color in a painting book? September 23, 2007

It is a good book from an excellent artist. The book would have been more useful if it had colored pictures and lessons in color mixture and schemes.
 Text good but all in black and white - no color! July 23, 2007

the text is good, but it's hard to visualize a painting when it's all in dark and lite tones. Would not recommend this book even tho an artist recommened it to us.I suppose it's good for composition of your painting!
