3.0 out of 5 stars Great impressionist examples for the intermediate painter, July 30, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Capturing Light in Oils (Hardcover)
This is a quick book written in conversation style that provides several examples of finished work and a few "how to" examples. He is an excellent painter, and I believe this book would be better for the intermediate painter than the beginner. He doesn't go into alot of detail about his technique. It seems he prefers to let the reader interpret for himself the meaning of his statements through observation of his works.
