Product Description

Impressionism--its techniques as well as its practitioners, past and present--continues to excite the passions of artists and art enthusiasts alike. And the influence on American art has had a long and distinguished history. Through artistic principles developed by Charles Hawthorne, an influential American impressionist and educator who founded the Cape Cod School of Art, the rich legacy of the impressionist tradition was passed on to several generations of American artists. Now in paperback, Painting Methods of the Impressionists, explores and illustrates Hawthorn's philosophy and theories about color and light, enabling artists at every level to apply his insights to their own work.

Excellent Book on Color, 2007-01-24
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.

I liked it, 2006-09-01
It just didn't motivate me like I wanted it to.... so I sold it. But, it does have some good steps to getting that impressionistic look. I suggest trying out the book by Susan Sarback, Capturing Radiant Color in Oils (Paperback)
ISBN: 1581800614. I've been on her website, and she has some remarkable paintings as well.
