Book Reviews of Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting

Book Review: A Tool for Teaching
Summary: 5 Stars

I am only half way through this book but am so glad my teacher recommended it. I have to read some of the lessons two or three times to be sure I understand all the fine points, and I am reading it very slowly.

When I finish, I'll go back and highlight passages for reference when I encounter a problem.

Very well written.
