Excellent book, recommended by my painting coach. Great illustrations on use of light in impressionist landscape paintings. If you are an experienced painter you will skip some of the suggested exercises that are very basic. They would be helpful to a person with little or no experience. There are many tips and detailed guidance that is helpful to an experienced painter -- there is enough for any reader to more than justify the price and your reading time.

I love this book! Lois Griffel describes with great clarity the "how-to" achieve the best ever results for your hard work in art!

Good instuctional book on painting with light. Step by step illustrations as well as written instruction makes this book a great teaching tool. I will be trying out the new techniques with my next paintings.

I found this book a valuable addition to my library. As an Artist it proved to be a wonderful learning tool, with detailed explainations, examples, and a number of practical step by step learning project. It has added great depth to my paintings. I would recommend it to both experienced artist and beginners. Beautiful colour photos!!!

This is an excellent book for learning color theory. You can tell she loves teaching because she doesn't hold back. She is really trying to help you learn the concepts. She paints in an impressionist style, but her methods would work no matter what your style is.
