Elementary principles of landscape painting

About this book

The original book by John Fabian Carlson (my grandfather) was edited down in 1953 to the current version sold as "Carlson's Guide to Landscape Painting", still in print as of 2022. The original extensive prose shows Carlson's passionate reverence for nature and his intent to enliven same in his students. The publisher cut prose for brevity (modern style) and purely instructive value which does remain fully intact in the current edition.
