Summary: Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting
Comment: This most excellent book taught me so very much about painting landscapes! I have been primarily a portrait painter and this book was so awesome to lead me to another subject. I highly recommend this book! The illustrations of work in this book are outstanding!

Summary: Terrific book that answers questions for landscape painters!
Comment: The author seems to have gone out of his way to write a book covering every aspect of landscape painting and has done it well. He starts with his ideas on how to approach painting as a whole, continues with the mechanics of painting wherein he discusses the tools necessary, and covering subjects such as angles and values, design, perspective,light and color. An informative book for the landscape painting enthusiast. I recommend it highly!

Summary: Worthwhile, but a little old-fashioned
Comment: This book covers a lot of important landscape painting topics that are often not covered adequately or well in other books. Although very conscientiously written, Carlson's prose at times can be old-fashioned and very difficult to read. Also, it is unfortunate that the illustrations for this book on painting are presented in black and white.
These negative observations made, I found the book to be very worthwhile reading. Carlson speaks to both the craft and art of landscape painting with a master's knowledge and the intent of an experienced teacher. His chapters cover value, light, aerial and linear perspective, color, trees, clouds and composition and contain much valuable information and tips for the painter.
