Portrait Painting Atelier: Old Master Techniques and Contemporary Applications

by: Suzanne Brooker
I was attracted by the cover of the book but was a bit disappointed at most of the paintings inside the book.The colors and some of the paintings are simply not that great. However, the content is what is interesting and worthwhile to spend the money. For a self taught painter, this book clarifies many aspects which are unclear and offers some useful exercises and explanations. The author of the book really explained many things in great length which is seldom found in other art books.

Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting

by: John F. Carlson
I bought this book based on other reviews... what a great purchase! As a teacher and artist this will be a vital book for me. This book is helpful to put vague, arty ideas (such as composition and handling of edges) into crystal clear language with visual examples. This is not a how-to multi-step book (yawn -- too many of those already!). Other reviews cite the text as a bit 'dated' for language (printed in the 50's) and only black-and-white illustrations, but that is of little concern. Color pictures are not needed to understand the ideas presented.
