Not worth buying
23 Mar 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This product is not really worth the money. It is, in many places, just a copy of Dow's other book on Notan -- same info, same pictures, same exercises. Buy one or the other of his two book - not both. If you already only his NOTAN book pass this up. If you are choosing between the two -- the addition of color makes this one a better choice over the former.

Push you paintings to the next level
12 Dec 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I really, really like this book. It reminded me what quality artwork should aspire to and what I should aspire to in my own paintings. Painting is not about copying what you see. It is about adding an element of pleasing design that lifts your painting to a higher level.
Reading this book as inspired me and challenged me to attempt a higher level of painting.
Dow explains 5 principles of composition,notan-the harmony with dark and light shapes, and color theory.
The writing is a little dry in places, but the book is not intended to be an entertaining novel. There are plenty of illustrations and written explanations. The concepts are presented in a very understandable way.
I think this book is best suited for those artists who have some basic skills and experience and who want to be able to add an element of good design to their artwork.
I recommend this book.

Finally, the right edition of this classic
23 Feb 2008
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
A simple reproduction of the classic work.
This is the book Georgia O'keeffe so highly recommended, not the bloated green-covered edition from the University of California press with the hideous *61* pages of useless introduction.
