Interesting how to do manual

I am not a painter, but wanted to know a bit more on what it takes to make a good painting. For me this book went too much into details of what color to use, what brushes, what to bring with you etc., but maybe for a serious beginner, this could be of use. However, it was interesting enough that I would like to try it some time.

I received a free electronic copy of this excellent guide from EReaderCafe and Malcolm Dewey. Thank you for sharing your hard work with me. I enjoyed this work, the hints, and tips to making that outdoor painting experience less chaotic and more fun. A fine how-to for both experienced painters and newbies, this work lets you know what it is safe to leave behind and what you can reasonably do on this excursion. It actually isn't necessary to take a truck bed of supplies when you have a hankering to paint ducks. Who knew?

This is not geared towards the watercolorist, but more for those painting in acrylics or oils. However, this short, practical guide contains good tips, which apply to all artists beginning to venture outdoors with their paints.

Muy interesante enfoque al paisaje al natural

Pienso que los consejos de los artistas siempre deben ser bienvenidos para perfeccionarnos en la teoria y en la practica.
