As a animation background painter, this book is very valuable . . . needs more color though,
This review is from: Painting Trees and Landscapes in Watercolor (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
This book is definitely made for a mid level to advance painters. As an animation background painter, I found this book to be very useful and although relatively old, the information was still very relevant. At first glance, I was a little disappointed in the lack of color, (there are some pages with color/ final painting reproductions, but most of the book is in b&w) but upon reading the text and following the examples, this book ultimately makes you focus on the composition, values, and distinct shapes that characterizes types of trees, before a painter jumps headlong into color. There is so much statement coming from the way Ted Kautzky utilizes lines, values, and brush strokes. Every piece looks like it came out of an animated movie. It's great study for mood, too. It's one of those books that doesn't look like much at first, but you'll come to treasure later on, after you make a breakthrough with your painting.

A great book on painting trees,
By Don (in PA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Painting Trees and Landscapes in Watercolor (Dover Art Instruction) (Paperback)
Ted's book on painting trees is full of information that any artist should find a big help. Money well spent on a book written some years ago will still be usefull today.
