## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Practitioner’s knowledge - many wise words
*by D***E on 27 February 2022*

I found out about the book from a blog - researched the author and was attracted by his many practical insights. The book is superb in its teaching style, aimed at immediate application. It’s become quite a companion. For example, any aspiring oil painter suffering from ‘greenitis’ will find remedies here. And approaches to under-painting using 2 different hues to balance initial tonal sketch was really helpful. There is a kind of ‘logic’ to everything I have read in the book but not in a way that stifles creativity but rather established important ‘principles of good practice’ I would call them. As the food writer Elizabeth David said - you have to learn how to cook a plain soufflé every time, many times, before trying variations. In painting as in cooking, it’s practice, practice, practice and making mistakes so you can learn from them. For painters, this book is a great companion.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comprehensive manual on plein air painting
*by J***L on 5 October 2011*

Just finished reading this very comprehensive book and can thoroughly recommend it. A great reference book too, which I will go back to in the future, easy to follow and well illustrated. A modern and therefore up-to-date manual in the vein of 'Guide to Landscape Painting' by J.F. Carlson. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best - and one I refer to time and time again
*by C***S on 22 October 2017*

A superb book, and one that I refer to time and time again - that's the true test of a book on painting, in my opinion. And one of the really nice things about this author is that he continues to post material on his blog (and in magazines) that refers to parts of the book but also extends the content of the book with additional explanation. Mitchell's writing is excellent - very readable, it's as if he's say next to you explaining things gently and clearly. Before I wrote this review, I read some of the other reviews, including the two 2-star reviews. Of course it's always possible to critique even the most accomplished effort, but I still struggle to understand those 2-star reviews. I must have about 100 books on painting, as well as about 50 videos/DVDs. Many of them I never look at again because they aren't very useful. Albala's book (plus his blog) is incredibly useful - it is absolutely packed with the kind of information that you would only get otherwise in a workshop situation. Of course, one book on painting on its own will probably never give you everything you want/need. When I read Albala's book, I remember parts of other books and video/DVDs and the knowledge is then strengthened. I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
