Successful Art Instruction Book,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: A Painter's Guide to Design and Composition (Hardcover)
Design and composition are vague terms for many artists,some paint for years without getting the concepts. This author knows what she's talking about and is able to communicate more than just the "how to" of painting. The book instructs about the little nuances that make a painting great. Beautiful paintings from 26 master artists of our time and meaty demonstrations along with clear instructions make this a must-have reference book. In fact, teachers may be referencing this book for many years to come.

This review is from: A Painter's Guide to Design and Composition (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful book. It has great step-by-step demos with clear illustrations by top notch artists, an organized content, and is written in easy-to-understand language. I had been searching high and low for a comprehensive manual on composition and design. Leave it to Margo Schulzke to come up with such a great reference book for artists and art teachers. Her regular contributions in the "Pastel Journal" only served to whet my appetite for this book. I will refer to it and treasure it for years to come.

A Painters Guid to design and Composition,
By M Appelt (Sacramento, California United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Painter's Guide to Design and Composition (Hardcover)
One can never have too many books on design. In addition to containing timeless design principles, this book is full of beautiful images by well known artists with great demonstrations. I especially liked Richard
McKinley's demo showing how he builds very translucent layers that achieve a lovely luminosity.
