Summary: Hawthorne on Painting
Review: This is the painters bible. No matter how many times you reread this book, you will always find something poignant. I have been teaching painting for over 18 years on the college level and I have found this book to be the best. It is the only book you will ever need to understand light color and design in realistic figurative and landscape painting. Forget those expensive, glossy, overpriced edtions. Hawthorne was a master and you have his wisdom for only ($$$). I am on my fifth copy. The other four just wore out.

Summary: Needs examples of his art
Review: Would gladly have paid more to see examples . While the statements are fascinating I needed to see more of what he did , not just what was on the cover.
