Customer Reviews

The best landscape painting book I've seen.
This book is the best I've found for landscape painting. Kessler goes through all the important aspects of good painting including sound composition, depth and atmospheric perspective, color and mood, and many others. Just as importantly, I found the numerous paintings included in the book to be very inspirational. The book is well-written, enjoyable to read, and I would highly recommend for anyone who is interested 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 never get it back!

A MUST HAVE!
I just have to reiterate all that has already been said, this is the best book on landscape painting I have seen, a must have for any landscape artist. Margret Kessler is an amazing artist and really knows what she is talking about.
