Review: I wish more art books were like this one - I ordered it, read it, and loved it. This book is everything I look for in an art book: it gives attention to both operation (technique) and concept (big picture), provides step-by-step demonstrations, and includes a voluminous gallery of the author’s work. Fowkes masterfully narrates both what he is doing and why he is doing it, avoiding the common imbalance of leaning too heavily on technique. A central principle is that the "simple statement" is the primary organizing hub for all artistic decisions. He connects this core concept to practical operation, using a deductive method: explaining the concept, articulating how to achieve it, and providing an illustrative example. Fowkes is encouraging, never patronizing, and gets straight to the point. His tone expresses confidence in the reader's ability, creating excitement to try his approach. Nearly half the volume is a gallery of his paintings. Labeled as "sketches," these are substantial works of art that prove he practices what he preaches. On a scale of 0 to 10, I conservatively give How to Paint Landscapes an 11. It is thoughtful, focused, and beautiful, making it a a solid purchase for anyone serious about landscape and plein air art.
Review: Practical Instruction Plus Energizing Inspiration - This book is not for beginners; however its clear and concise instruction is perfect for intermediate to advanced painters. This is neither a watercolor book, nor a gouache book: the book is about combining watercolor with gouache, and the wonderful effects you can get with that combination. It is filled with very generous, practical down to earth advice for both plein aire --how to travel light and work fast-- and in studio working from photos. All its photos are in color, which makes the instruction part of book beautiful in and of itself. The second part includes a gorgeous color portfolio of his artwork which is very inspiring for all levels of artists. (Reviewed by Theresa Taylor Bayer)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The perfect book for plein air watercolor artists
*by R***L on December 13, 2019*

I've taken Nathan Fowkes' courses on Schoolism a few times. His video courses are rich with content and it's a lot to absorb, so I go back to it to learn even more. When I saw this book, I knew it would be as rich and helpful as his Schoolism courses. And it has lived up to and beyond my expectations. I'm so glad to have a book to refer to when I need a refresher. The book has so many demonstrations that he masterfully dissects for the book. It's absolutely filled with color and images, and the text really gets to the point. This is important for visual learners, as most artists tend to be. He seamlessly integrates the painting process with concepts of color theory and composition, which I appreciate because many books describe such concepts in isolation from one another and from the context of actually painting while making such decisions in the field. Leaning from an artist like Nathan Fowkes is a true privilege because he is the rare artist who is at once a true master and an adept teacher. Highly recommended!
