Summary: A MUST HAVE BOOK
Comment: This book is one that I will have forever and refer to daily. Ms. Griffel explains very clearly how to really paint in the true impressionistic technique, which is interpreting the effects of light. The book gives you the tools to see color and sets up lessons for you to explore and understand how light effects objects. I think anyone who wants to paint in the true impressionistic style has to have the knowledge this book imparts to be successful. Along with explaining the effects of light on objects, Mr. Griffel also imparts the importance of values and structure in painting. Simply a must for every serious artist, also for anyone who wants to understand the effect of light and color.

Summary: Closer to Seeing the Light
Comment: Artists are always striving to increase their understanding of light and the way it affects color.In her book, Lois Griffel presents straightforward and concise ways to do this. Following her directions for painting studies of colored blocks in different lighting conditions, I learned more about seeing color than I ever possibly could have on my own. Seeing the way she and others who studied with Henry Hensche at the Cape Cod School of Art bring their work to brilliant life helps me to see more and more of the light possibilities in my own work.As I go outdoors to paint the landscape now, I think back to my studies from this book, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to absorb these teachings. Thank you, Ms. Griffel!!!!!!

Summary: Best Of The Best
Comment: I feel so very fortunate that I happened upon this wonderful book by Lois Griffel! I am an experienced artist, but new to oil painting, and this one book has taught me more than all of the art classes, workshops, and books ever could. And the lessons in this book apply to any medium you wish to use. If you want to achieve clean, clear, bright, impressionistic paintings, this is the book for you. It is a delight to read, with very direct, step-by-step instructions, and lots of examples. An added bonus is viewing so many of Ms. Griffel's fantastic paintings! I would give this one ten stars if I could!
