 A must for landscape painters December 18, 2001
16 out of 16 found this review helpful
This book is full of practical advice from one of the best landscape painters to my opinion. Interested readers will find all sort of ideas on composition, colors, techniques etc. I keep on reading it and I always find something new to study and to give some more toughts. Carlson has helped me improve my work. Just have a look at Carlson's work and and you will see how bright and sparkling are his paintings and how full of lessons they are. His book is the same; it is full of generous tips and lessons and without any complicated theories.

Carlson fills this book with his years of outdoor painting experience, all the truths he discovered about the landscape. It is a book that both beginners and very experienced painters can glean something from.

The author seems to have gone out of his way to write a book covering every aspect of landscape painting and has done it well. He starts with his ideas on how to approach painting as a whole, continues with the mechanics of painting wherein he discusses the tools necessary, and covering subjects such as angles and values, design, perspective,light and color. An informative book for the landscape painting enthusiast. I recommend it highly!
