Reviews
This is another of Search Press’s bind-ups of previous material. They’ve got very good at this latterly and, rather than obvious joins where
one book ends and another begins, the whole thing is now seamless. The material may not be new, but it’s still sound and the A
reproduction is as fresh as it ever was, so this isn’t resurrecting a corpse but bringing excellent material to a potential new audience at a
very affordable price. As well as some technical pieces on things like perspective and composition, demonstrations from popular authors
cover trees, water, snow, buildings and so on (and on). If you have other books by these authors, you’d need to check for duplication T
but, equally, there’s so much here, you probably won’t be getting too much cross-over. If you only have a small library and are on a
budget into the bargain, you could do a great deal worse than invest in this. I
