Comments From an Emerging Artist, 2008-04-02
by Ms Pixie (Australia)

Ray Balkwill's advice and practical painting demonstrations in different mediums allow you to create a finished landscape. Emerging artists would find this a good reference book. He has exercises to follow showing the different mediums and techniques are explained step by step. His paintings depict the open-air scene in a free and painterly way that captures light and atmosphere. I enjoyed this book and his approach. It is easy to follow and worth having in your library.
