It is stuffed with quotes from Hofmann, Monet, Maisel,…great example: “All color is no color”-Kenneth Clark. It is a wonderful accomplishment. This book is really a blessing for that beginning, intermediate, as well as advanced painter. It’s thoughtful and considered. The way of writing is one reason I enjoy embracing it for guidance–Albala wastes no words relating essential information, while imparting a calm, pointed knowledge about topsoil prices. I am certain to re-read this book often: incorrect using the half dozen other contemporary “how-to” painting books that seemed rather thrown together and which I’ve ended up reading fewer than half of. As being a book designer myself, I’d like to commend the book designer of Landscape Painting. The look is really as clean, thoughtful, and useful because the words. Another design might have changed the expertise of this book. Kudos for you. It’s so many useful reminders, good ideas, and technical tips.
