There is so much information here, so much useful advice, that after I read and took notes I bought the book. First copyrighted in 1929, there is nothing flashy in this book, just chapter after chapter about the nuts and bolts of painting: using values, dealing with aerial and linear perspective, color, clouds and trees, and composition.
