A great landscape painting book

I have been painting for years and a friend recommended this book to me. It has served a great source for understanding the particulars of landscape painting in oils. I ended up buying it for another friend of mine. I provides an excellent underlying approach to painting. Would recommend it to anyone beginning in landscape painting.

Finally, a technique book that has it all!

If you buy only one book on landscape painting, this is the one to have. It's a must have for the oil painter. From planning to gallery, Ms. Kessler's book is put together well and is thorough. This book will not sit on your shelf at home collecting dust. Soon, it will show signs of wear as you use it to help you render dept, tone, atmosphere, value, and color. A word of caution: Don't lend it to your friends, you'll...
