I learned so much from this book. I started painting about 3 years ago and I just painted a little bit more realistically and now I can actually paint in a more impressionist way! Very informing... satisfied + customer

Lois Griffel's "Painting the Impressionist Landscape" is very simply a must have for the library of anyone interested in using color to capture their surroundings in paint, anyone interested in bringing their work to a new level. Of the many books on my shelf this is the one that I would not do without. Lois Griffel has demystified a painting process, made it easy to understand and given us a way to practice it, the oft' dreaded block studies. She has successfully fulfilled her stewardship of the Cape Cod School started by Charles Hawthorne and developed by Henry Hensche. She is a great teacher who should be read and studied by anyone interested in color, especially painters both experienced and beginner alike. Many of today's greatest painters studied with Hensche. The rest of us can get a touch of the training here. Great book! Thank you Lois Griffel.

This is a very informative and user friendly book. I took a painting workshop from Lois and she is such a giving person, not afraid to share what she knows. I learned so much about using colors and values from her. I highly recommend this book to any painter, impressionist or not! It has lovely photos of finished works and works in progression. Wonderful.

Without a doubt Lois's book is the most comperhensive book I have ever read about color. She goes into detail of the importance of value and color and how they play off each other. I am constantly referring to 'Impressionist Landscapes' when I get off tract. Much of my book is covered in highlighting I did. looks messy but works great for me.
