Drawing & Painting Trees in the Landscape,
This is an amazing book. It makes drawing nature so enjoyable. Before I struggled with drawing any kind of background for my drawings because I was very generic . All the backgrounds looked the same, but now my backgrounds seem to come alive because I now can mix up my scenery to match the theme of my drawings. This is diffidently my favorite book for doing landscapes. William Sharp

|Nice is Great,
I’ve purchased a number of books by Claudia Nice as gifts for my Mother, who’s an extremely good artist, herself. As with all the previous books, this one has her thrilled about the quality of the tutorials and anxious to try them out herself. You can’t go wrong with Claudia Nice, whether you’re a beginner or professional in painting.

|Best book on Sumi-e available,
Naomi Okamoto’s book on sumi-e is the most comprehensive and helpful book I have found to date on sumi-e. Utilizing a detailed approach, beginning with the basics of sumi-e, Okamoto leads the reader through the practice as a whole, paying close attention to technique, mindfulness and composition. I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in Japanese ink painting.

|Great beginners book!,
this book provides the reader with a clear description of the basic equipment needed for painting, as well as a clearly explained basic strokes. the book leads the read through a series of progressively more difficult exercises from the “classical” traditions of sumie, like the orchid, bamaboo, and plum blossom.
having recently been on an introductory course in Sumie this book helps reinforce the lessons learnt there.
the author provides a good basic text for an absolute beginner that allows a person to begin and develop his talent. he describes and provides clear descriptions and numbered pictures of how to paint the various classical paintings. this may seem a bit like “paint by numbers” but gives one a good feel of “copying” the old masters of sumie.
out of 3 books ordered on sumie I use this one the most as a binner. the other two are for more advanced painters or those wanting to appreciate the art. The mustard seed gardern manual of painting is a good work but not as easily or clearly expalined as Okamoto does here for the western beginner.
you will not go wrong in buying this book if you are a beginner.

|A good beginner book.,
This book is great for a beginner. It explains the materials you need to start painting and gives you step by step instructions on the techniques needed to paint bamboo, orchids, chrysanthemums, etc. My only criticism is that it’s week on how to paint pine trees which I find difficult. But, overall a book worthwile to own and work with.
