Written by a famous American painter and teacher, whose landscapes are found in many of the world's museums, this book is known as one of the art students' most helpful guides. It provides a wealth of advice on the choice of subject; it tells what to look for and aim for; and explains the mysteries of color, atmospheric conditions and other phenomena to be found in nature. "Crammed into its pages are the thoughts and experiences of a lifetime of painting and teaching."
