The book itself is beautiful with many lovely examples that illustrate the teaching perfectly. Some have suggested that it would be more suited to intermediate or advanced painters. I would beg to differ and having now read the book completely feel that it would not only help form a solid foundational framework of ideas and concepts for beginners but would also be helpful to all landscape artists whether working in wet or dry media. Even much of the colour related teaching could be translated to other media such as pastels and coloured pencils. As the author indicates from the outset this book is intended to have a much broader focus than his first one on oil painting (which I haven't read). There were a lot of "aha" moments for me reading this book but I agree with the author that greatest progress will come through making the time and effort to complete the exercises (which are more enjoyable than onerous). I would also add that while some may not like the non- glossy pages for those who prefer to make notes and marks on the pages of their book, the paper used is perfect for that. I suppose it is a workbook after all. This will undoubtedly be a well thumbed reference book for years to come. Review: Excellent book for all artists - Excellent book that even an experienced painter would find useful! My mother in law couldn't have been more pleased with it and gained lots of hints and tricks from this books. She is an excellent artist and very hard to buy for! She has since bought this book for her friends so it must be good! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 16,455 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 5 in Landscape Painting 10 in Landscape & Seascape Art History & Criticism 133 in Drawing (Books) | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,372) | | Dimensions | 21.72 x 1.78 x 27.81 cm | | Edition | Workbook | | ISBN-10 | 0760371350 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0760371350 | | Item weight | 416 g | | Language | English | | Part of series | For Artists | | Print length | 176 pages | | Publication date | 1 Feb. 2022 | | Publisher | Rockport Publishers | ## Images ![The Landscape Painter's Workbook: Essential Studies in Shape, Composition, and Color (6) (For Artists) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91H2XfEhthL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Invaluable for all landscape artists. *by J***L on 10 February 2022* This took a long time coming on pre-order but the wait was more than worth it.

My mother in law couldn't have been more pleased with it and gained lots of hints and tricks from this books. She is an excellent artist and very hard to buy for! She has since bought this book for her friends so it must be good! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent overall; minor quibbles in the section on Palette Strategies *by K***N on 20 September 2022* I work mainly in watercolour and I have found this book very helpful on the subject of composition, especially on shape interpretation and NOTAN. Liberal NOTAN is a new concept to me and will definitely help me apply NOTAN successfully as a design aid, which I have previously struggled with. I haven't worked through the section on Colour Strategies but it looks like it will enhance my practice in this area. I was surprised however that a capable practioner and teacher like the author would categorise Ultramarine Blue as a cool blue and Phthalo, Cerulean, Manganese, and Teal as warm blues. This is repeated on pages 149, 158, 159, 160 and 161, so doesn't seem to be an editorial or proof reader introduced error. This doesn't seem to be a prevalent view among other artists. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Landscape Painter's Workbook: Essential Studies in Shape, Composition, and Color (Volume 6) (For Artists, 6) - Landscape Painting: Essential Concepts and Techniques for Plein Air and Studio Practice - The Elements of Landscape Oil Painting: Techniques for Rendering Sky, Terrain, Trees, and Water --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/291027714-the-landscape-painters-workbook-essential-studies-in-shape-composition-color](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/291027714-the-landscape-painters-workbook-essential-studies-in-shape-composition-color) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-02*
