"Excellent, lots of technique how-tos" according to Megs. This is more useful than any other book for this level that I have seen. Most go straight from materials to the step-by-steps, but the bulk of this book is in techniques and exercises. I like it, I think I'll check out some of the author's other acrylics books. Recommended for beginners or those first branching into landscapes.. "Lee Hammond" according to Jeraldine Condon. Lee Hammond offers the most down to earth and simple explanations I've found, non pretentious and I really appreciate that. When she explained the 'awkward' stage it was a real validation for meI use her phrase often when I'm teaching my ceramic class too. People expect to lay down one coat of paint and it be beautifulI tell them you have to get through the awkward stage then it will come just like when I paint on canvas or watercolor paper. "Great for beginners" according to Amazon Customer. This book has many lessons teaching basic techniques for painting the things that go into a landscape picture.Trees, water, mountains, rocks,bushes, sky, clouds,flowers, etc. Good instruction on color mixing and the use of color and shading.There is basic description on brushes and their use.The demonstrations lead the reader/painter in the process of creating the finished picture.A very good book for a beginning painter.
