Carlson's Guide to Lansdcape Painting, JF Carlson
Excellent painters reference book, use it as a text book. I tended to underline about one third of the book for future reference. Highly recommended. Materials list is out dated due to the age of the book, but a great read on every other subject in painting. A bit hard to read due to vocabulary changes in our culture. Maybe we should change back! Best analynical book on understanding how to see and how to paint I have ever read. Outstanding. So good in fact, this is my second copy to be given as a gift. Many excellent, well known painters mention it in their DVD's and books as wonderful reference and inspiration.

Insightful and changes the way one sees
Well written with excellent diagrams that explain both concepts and how landscapes appear. Much better explanations than Payne's landscape book. Carlson enabled me to see landscape ( values and colors) in a new way. With second reading discovered even more insights into creating paintings

This book arrived in very good shape.
Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting (1973) is really a must have for any serious artist. This book will be read and referred to many times in the future, as the information is invaluable. The only criticism I would have is that the photos are all in black and white. Unfortunately, this was because of the early printing years, when using color printing was still not in vogue. This particular book was suggested to me by the pastel artist, Bill Hosner. Although, John Carlson's work was in oil, the information in his book would apply to artists using any medium.

Classic text at great price
The author tends to repeat and drone on a bit, but most art teachers will recommend this book if you want to paint landscapes. I found a great price on the paperback version so I couldn't turn it down. I was not disappointed and best of all I didn't pay the outrageous prices this classic book is known to bring. So my advice is get the book, but get it in paperback and think of it as a text book.
