Good information.......2007-01-25

I liked her examples. It was nice to see the examples in watercolor as well as oil. Clear instructions and an easy read.

Seeing the Light: An Artist's Guide.......2007-01-07

Very pleasurable visually with bright colors and stunning use of white to indicate light. I can never seem to pull this off and look forward to trying to recreate some of the paintings to see if I can achieve success.
