Except for the tutorial on summer lighting, I did not find the tutorials in this book particularly helpful. The art within the book wasn't very nice. The lines were too crisp and I like my paintings a bit messy. The only thing I liked about this book was its use of examples which ranged from John S. Cotman's works to Hassam's impressionist paintings.

Interesante sobre todo en las explicaciones que da sobre la temperatura del color y las obras que usa como ejemplo. Algunos de los ejercicios me resultaron complicados.
