Title: For new painters and experienced artists!
Product review: I have painted and been an art teacher for more than 20 years. Of all of the teachers I had in high school and in college, Jerry Yarnell is the most comprehensive teacher I have ever experienced in print. Some explanations are short, but clearly written. Painting instructions are very clear and concise. Understanding the "why" of a particular technique is very, very important,and Jerry explains well. The number of fine art techniques taught by Jerry Yarnell in his various books is just astounding! While in college, I studied the Masters, and marveled at their abilities. Now, with Jerry's analysis and explanations, I not only understand why artists of the Hudson River school (for example), used a more impressionistic approach to distant land forms and clouds, but now I know HOW to create that atmospheric perspective myself! I am using Jerry Yarnell's techniques in my painting classes, and getting award-winning results with my students! Awesome!
