Not your typical Donna Dewberry instruction book Don’t get me wrong, this is an excellent book to teach you simple landscapes. I had to dock it one star due to the fact that there are no worksheets provided in this book to practice with, as can be found in her other books, nor are the instructions layed out, literally, step by step. The upside is that the illustrations are vibrant and color matched so that you can follow along easy enough to understand when and where to place color.You won’t be disappointed with this book if you are Donna Dewberry fan. This book represents a new and exciting change over her traditional one stroke method. Have fun decorating your home with your new paintings!
AWESOME!! I am a NEW painter, I attended 5 Donna Dewberry classes at the local High School. Once the classes ended I knew I had to find a way to continue painting. I ordered two Donna Dewberry books from Amazon. I received this book on a Friday. I was so excited when I received it that I immediately grabbed a canvas, brushes and paints and painted the Sunset Silhouette. The painting is awesome and the step by step in the book are fantastic. I recommend this book to everyone.
NO MORE LATE FEES FROM THE LIBRARY! I have been checking this book out from the library constantly for almost 3 years.I’m sure there might be better books for teaching how to do landscapes, but I learned how to paint with the one-stroke method and am now I am a die hard. I was basically a stick figure artist and now I have my own business selling the creations and techniques I learned over eight years ago. I am happy to have this book to help me take the brave new step into more real art (my definitions, that is)Even though there are no practice sheets with this book, it teaches you to use technique, which I am still learning. Now that I have this book, the only person stopping me from growing, is me and I like that!
