Painting the Impressionistic Landscape: Exploring Light and Color in Watercolor and Acrylic

You'll want to keep this book handy if you are a painter or just wondering if you have what it takes to take up painting. Dustan shares her approach to creating lively, expressive pictures in watercolors and acrylics. There are step by step instructions and, more importantly for me, she expresses her engagement with the joy and discovery in making a painting. The paintings are beautiful. I look through this book on darkish days just to get a reminder of lighter days. And sometimes I pick it up to get some inspiration for my next painting.

Not only is she an accomplished artist, her work is stunning and speaks to me, but the way she writes pulled me in and I enjoyed reading her process as if I was there next to her. Very informative and inspirational! Highly recommended!!(I read the Kindle version but will order the book, as I often do with books I really enjoy.)

This is more a "how I do it" book than a "how to do it" book. I got some good ideas, but it wasn't what I was really looking for.

Loved this book and glad I got this one physically instead of on kindle. Its a great resource book to have in your art studio.

The author's style is not nearly that of the impressionist painters. I think the title of the book is misleading in that respect.

Great book & very descriptive!

Just received Dustan's book today. I will enjoy it so. Read it this winter with a cup of tea. All her positive energy has been captured in this book. I love the two pictures (one on the back) and one inside with Dusty's hands covered in paint. Such a talent we are very fortunate to have here on the Seacoast of NH

Disappointing

Just love this book. Plenty of ideas to get the creative juices going again

So much inspiration in these pages! I love her step-by-step instructions -- not that I'm going to slavishly copy her tutorials, but it's great to have these as a guide for different techniques and textures. A keeper, for sure.
