 Required reading for my students! July 8, 2007
Hawthorne on Painting was the most recommended book by master artist and teacher Sergei Bongart and, like most of his other students, I make it required reading for artists studying with me. The essential truths within are clear, even without pictures, and you'll find yourself reading and re-reading the rich, pithy text. A plein air painter cannot do without its information and inspiration!
Also of interest to artists...

 Good reading but:... March 20, 2007

How good could be an advice or critic if you dont see the pictures that goes
along with it. I did appreciate the reading of this book, but I'd say half of
it is wasted due to the fact that there is no artwork to base judgement for
yourself and understand the views of Mr. Hawthorne.
 Good information January 25, 2007
The material covered is good, but I liked the book Henche on Painting better. No color images.

It's a good to hear the comments from this wonderful artist expressing what makes an artist. The books modest cost is worth it, just to feel how he processes the visual world. His constructive reviews of students is enlightening. What I really missed was pictures of the works he is reviewing. The book is devoid of any pictures. You have to visualize what he is talking about. I really wanted to "see" what he was seeing.

This is one of the classics on painting. Every artist should add this to thier libary. It is a small book full of treasured insights for painting.
Hawthorne's book is one I turn to when I am stuck in a painting. I read through the information that is given and see which one applies to my work. It is often just what I need to have a fresh eye. This is a great book for the novice or professional.
