Hawthorne on Painting,
By
This review is from: Hawthorne on Painting (Paperback)
This is the painters bible. No matter how many times you reread this book, you will always find something poignant. I have been teaching painting for over 18 years on the college level and I have found this book to be the best. It is the only book you will ever need to understand light color and design in realistic figurative and landscape painting. Forget those expensive, glossy, overpriced edtions. Hawthorne was a master and you have his wisdom for only ($$$). I am on my fifth copy. The other four just wore out.

Short & Sweet, tons of stuff to think about,
By Michael (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hawthorne on Painting (Paperback)
I read the entire book in one sitting and was amazed at the content. I can only imagine what it would have been like to study with Hawthorne. This book has Hawthornes narratives as well as his critiques. I wish they had included pictures of the works being critiqued, that would be so much more useful. but as it stands it's still a great book. It's something you can read over and over. I was suprised how much of his advice applies to life in general, not necessarily painting.

Pretty good,
By melrose (California, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hawthorne on Painting (Paperback)
This is a book you just read bits of. It is good with great techniques. It just makes me want to take a class and have a teacher like this. I want more than to just read it, I want to be that student he leans over the shoulder to teach. So, you just have to visualize a bit.
