Very good introduction to acrylic landscape painting

This was my first book on acrylic painting. It's a fairly brief read, but it covered all the main points that I needed to realistically depict a simple landscape with a few supplies and a starter set of paints. (I used theGrumbacher Academy Acrylics 10 Color Set). I've read at least 50 books on art since then, and have produced a good number of paintings and drawings on a variety of subjects, but I'm still using and gaining skill in the methods I learned from this book. It's excellent.
