The book are only white-black illustrations, and in my opinion it is a great disadvantage. This fact I didn't know before the purchase.
 Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting June 4, 2008
This book is a must for artists who want to learn the correct way to paint the landscape. It not only teaches the important concepts of landscape painting, but also gives reasons for the concepts. Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting will be a study guide and reference book for me.
a must have for every landscape painter.... April 24, 2008
This book is full of important information on how to approach landscape painting.
I will read this book over and over again
very recommended!!!
a book you'll refer to again and again April 17, 2008
Carlson's Guide truly is the bible of landscape painting. It's loaded with invaluable information for landscape artists, but studio artists will get so much out of it, too. Over the years, I've returned to the book again and again, and I always find some fresh insights that help me resolve whatever issues I'm dealing with that during that period. If you're looking for a sophisticated text that goes beyond the basic fundamentals like value, color, shape, etc. covered in most art instruction books, this one is for you.
The Landscape Painter's Bible April 5, 2008
A great reference and interesting reading for all phases of landscape painting, Carlson's guide has been referred to by art instructors, and novice painters alike. If there was only one landscape book you had the money to buy, this would be it. All black and white examples. Easy to understand concepts.
