 Good book for Plein Air Painting October 24, 2008
This book helped me launch myself into plein air (painting outdoors) in oils. He recommends a limited palette of colors, and gives lots of encouragement on getting lots of painting done, by working in simple shapes; simplifying the masses and details, working very small at first. I have done about 40 plein air paintings since reading this book. Good for beginners to advanced. I am an advanced artist, but new to oils. I think this is the best book I have found so far on plein air painting.
Great Book June 13, 2008
Really terrific book! I highly recommend it for anyone beginning in oil paintings as well as seasoned painters. It is down to earth, great instruction and his paintings are beautiful! You can definitely see his growth in his painting in his second book - also terrific, however the second book - Painting Inside and Out - reads in places like an advertisement for a couple of companies and products - didn't appreciate that much, but otherwise - also a fantastic book - even for the photos alone -
Wonderful! December 16, 2007

REAL help for a struggling painter May 12, 2007
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
AWESOME book packed to the full with inspiring paintings & photos, really practical tips for the would be painter, and help over all those overwhelming and sometimes insurmountable difficulties confronting the aspirant oil painter. Replaces mystery with method. I'm really thrilled to have discovered Kevin Macpherson's approach to painting "plein air" and am already seeing the fruits of applying it.
