Summary: An education in seeing color
Comment: I am a watercolorist but just knew I had to buy Kevin Macpherson's book, "Fill your Oil Paintings w/ Light and Color". I figured the principles would be the same for all painting and I was right. This book is my best investment of the year.
The principles he lays down for building a painting are tremendously helpful, but the best part for me was the opportunity to see so much of his work beautifully reproduced. It was a powerful lesson without words. I am learning to see lots more color in all my surroundings, and even to mix them!

Summary: Did I miss the color and light references?
Comment: Let me preface my review by saying that I am very new to painting. Having tackled a few Bob Ross paintings using the wet on wet technique, I was looking to learn more - so I got this book. I found that the first 45 pages were really the only pages that appealed to me. Discussions on color combinations, a limited palette and ways of discerning color were good pieces of instruction. However, Kevin talked quite a lot about detail in pictures when his paintings are anything but detail. His paintings tend to be a blurred vision. Nothing really in focus and nothing crisp. So after I got his book, I realized I didn't like his style of artistry. My advice is that before you buy this book, make sure you like the artist's paintings.

Summary: Great How-To Book By a Modern Master
Comment: A wonderful book by an artist recently named one of "The Magnificent Seven" by Art of the West magazine (Jan/Feb 2004) in their article on artists who are carrying on the tradition of such great Western artists as Charlie Russell, John Singer Sargent, Edgar Payne, Nicolai Fechin and others.
This book is filled with information that should be of interest to beginners and advanced painters alike, including capturing fleeting light and weather conditions, color relationships, luminous shadows, color temperature, reflected color, mixing colors using a limited palette, and learning to see a subject more effectively.
An inspiring book by an exceptional teacher, whose classes and workshops sell out months in advance.
