DESCRIPTION:
For more than two years, Linda Cateura has pursued teacher / artist David A. Leffel, notebook in hand, as he critiqued the work of students. Some of the most popular art instruction books ever written have been based on student notes culled over the years from actual workshop sessions, with all their power and immediacy - and with practical, on-to-one contact between student and teacher. Linda Cateura's succinct notes capture his insights, philosophy, painting hints, and general comments.Leffel's classic, painterly, twentieth-century old master style, much in the manner of Rembrandt or Chardin, affords ample illustration of the ideas expressed - through his many paintings, details, demonstrations, and diagrams, almost all in color.No matter what your level of ability, there is something here to apply to your own work, ideas that will cause you to rething your own ways of painting, hints to save you effort, or solutions to persistent painting problems.. This is such a book
Masterful portraits Great illustrations and demonstration of technique. Don't forget to check publication date - this is not a recent book but a good reference for your painting library.

Seidel said Painting Instruction. I was under the impression that this book was authored by David Leffel. It was written by Linda Cateura based on notes she made from Leffel's workshops and classes. It offers many good tips on painting all types of subjects. I have learned much from the book.
