Product Description
Landscapes and flowers are decorative painters' top two favorite subjects--Donna combines both in this book. Author is successful TV personality with weekly shows on PBS and bi-weekly shows on HSN and America's Store. In 20 step-by-step demos, Donna Dewberry brings her distinctive style and easy painting techniques to landscape painting and makes it fun and creative. Readers will see that you don't have to be a serious painter to create lovely landscapes, that you can relax and enjoy the process without getting bogged down in theory or spending time mastering technical skills. The author shows step by step how to paint a complete scenic landscape on canvas in less than an hour using a sponge to wash on large areas of sky and ground, and double-loaded brushes to paint trees, foliage and flowers. Readers will also learn how to paint landscapes across two, three and four side-by-side canvases to create their own colorful wall decor that is easy to display and needs no framing.

 disappointed... August 25, 2008

donna dewberry should stick with flowers!!! i think her landscapes are pretty awful in comparison to her flower paintings. there are some good tips on acrylic painting with sponges (although i think terrence tse's books MUCH surpass donna dewberry in this category), but to be honest, i only bought this book for the painting on multiple canvas information...good information but i could have gotten that somewhere else. there are much better books out there on acrylic landscape painting. if you are hooked on the donna dewberry techniques and her beautiful flower paintings, you might be disappointed here.
 AWESOME!! June 23, 2008

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.

I have purchased and used this book and I think it is a great value for the money. My students are also enjoying this new book.
Not your typical Donna Dewberry instruction book March 4, 2008

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!
