review of Mondrian - Structures in Space.......2000-05-13
A good overall introductory-level book of Mondrian's work. Lots of full-color illustrations, many full page, and relatively short text make this book easy for the reader who is developing an interest in Mondrian's work.
The author places Mondrian's work within the context of the times it was made, discussing concurrent developments and how other artist's work was influential on Mondrian, and how his work in turn influenced other artists. Several illustrations reproduce the work of these other artists.
The text is both biographical and developmental, as the various periods of Mondrian's work are all discussed, from his earliest Hague school-influenced landscapes through his Cubist inspired works to his mature Neo-Plastic paintings.
The photographic reproductions are excellent, and the text is informative without being scholarly. For anyone needing an introduction to Mondrian's work and career, this is the book for you.

Customer Reviews:
Very good.......2007-03-09
This book has been taken out of the Library several times since I purchased it for our collection in Jan. My hobby is painting, and I thought the directions and examples were well written and illustrated. A very good book for the beginner to intermediate watercolor enthusiast.
Great inspiration!.......2007-01-06
Photos are wonderful, the demos really help one to see how to get from your photo to a painting - to see from both the photographer's eye and the painter's eye. For those of you that sometimes get stuck in the detail of the photo and want to loosen up - this is a very helpful demonstration. A wonderful kickstart if you're having a "block" too - you do WANT to paint from these photos! Happy Painting!
Rating On Paint Watercolor Landscapes from Photos.......2006-08-30
I really should ask for my money back on this book....it was poorly written, vague in description, the cover is great and appears appealing....this is not worth the price of admission.
Sorry.!!
Book Description
A complete teaching course for eatercolor painting techniques for beginners to intermediates.
Book Description
For many artists, a special photograph sometimes calls out to be translated into a painting. What the photo captured in an instant, you can transform into your own lasting personal statement as you master every stage from original photos to finished painting. Enhance composition, colors, and forms. Crop for close-ups. Add or eliminate features. Alter light and color. Combine the best of several photos. Various media get special treatments—oil, watercolor, pastel, gouache, acrylic, color pencils, egg tempera. So do a range of subjects, including landscapes, seascapes, portraits, animal studies—as well as moods from intimate to historic, romantic to rugged.

Happy painting!
The best instructional book for painting portraits........1998-01-22
This artist's instructions are the best that I have seen. I just started painting in 1993 and one of my passions is portrait painting. I did not know how to start and when I found this book in my local library I immediately purchased it. The artist takes you step by step with very detailed pictures. I only wish I could purchase his videos; however, I have been unable to find a source from which to purchase them. I would like to see more books from Mr. Du Toit!
Book Description
This comprehensive source book of ideas and techniques provides everything you need to create exciting interior paint finishes. Easy-to-follow methods and expert advice on using a wide variety of tools and materials.

Customer Reviews:
I needed this book for my club in middle school.......2002-08-23
Like most boys growing up in era of the cold war and the original James Bond movies, I was part of a club where we created our own secret codes. It was great fun and we were constantly improving our codes to thwart the efforts of others who wanted to read those "important" messages. Had this book been available back then, we would have devoured it. Written at the level of a middle school student, the basic codes are thoroughly covered, yet not at a level beyond the child of the early teen years. No mathematics beyond simple arithmetic is used.
As befits the original publication date of 1975, computers are not part of the codes, which I found to be an attractive feature. Writing simple codes is an exercise in thought, a process that computers sometimes interfere with. This is a book that can be read for enjoyment, and it can also be used as a book for class work designed to be fun. It should be in every middle school library.
