They've done a really excellent production job on both booksMaking A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-8522388003717211952010-11-28T16:30:57.772+00:002010-11-28T16:30:57.772+00:00Sounds tempting Kath.

I think Albala’s Landscape book is another one. He writes pretty good about colour and light too.Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305269093118541197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-72098644609787709552010-11-28T07:34:55.016+00:002010-11-28T07:34:55.016+00:00Hi Michael.

This is not a "how to" media book which tells you how to paint in oil or watercolour. <br /><br />It's a book on how to create light in your paintings when creating art and how to use colour to best effect.<br /><br />If you click the link and go to the Amazon page you can then click the "see inside" and read the table of contents. That will probably help you best understand what it has to offer at this stage.<br /><br />In summary, this book tells you about all the things artists used to be taught - that now get omitted from an awful lot of books which supposedly tell you how to paint.Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-4599986288039431572010-11-28T07:32:53.887+00:002010-11-28T07:32:53.887+00:00Hi Meera - thanks so much for that comment.
