Wish it was as quality as previous editions.......2006-03-02
Working in the field of commercial/corporate interior design, I always look forward to the new editions of this book. I have Editions 4, 5 and now 6. Not that many books are written or photographed with the intent of showcasing corporate interiors and unfortunately No. 6's photographic quality was mediocre at best. I don't understand why a "photo" book would not require the entries to be top photo quality? I will not purchase #7 without flipping through it first.
Spectacular idea book........2005-09-10
You would think that there isn't much you can do with the traditonal office space. You walk in the door, there's a desk with a receptionist or guard to sign you in, the obligatory sick looking plant or two.
But in this book you can see what it is possible to do. Here some fifty of the top design firms present photographs of design projects they have completed for some of the top corporations in the country. Most of these are in the United States, ranging from New York to Los Angeles, only a few are overseas (mostly in England).
Generally eash two page spread shown one project to that there are a hundred and fifty or more projects illustrated with beautiful photography. The range of projects include manufacturing plants, hospitals, law firms, universities, airports, car dealerships -- virtually every type of business imaginable.
Spectacular idea book.

Ronson and his group HRO to create some of the most spectacular office spaces in Europe and the United States. Foyers, boardrooms, and the problems of traffic flow receive the designer's full attention in his quest to improve daily life for the buildings' occupants and visitors and to reflect the image of the corporations that reside within them. From Whitehall and HRO's own headquarters in the heart of Manhattan to Junghof Plaza in Frankfurt and the Défense Plaza in Paris, color photographs and sketches illustrate the designer's diverse visions of the contemporary working space.

Customer Reviews:
Ok for what it is.......2006-09-01
This book is ok for what it is, which is a collection of 100 paintings by different artists and a few tidbits they share. Inspirational, maybe to some. Instructional, not in the slightest. Tips... not that I saw, though I could have missed them.
The book and paintings might offer some insight to those wanting to see what can be accomplished with the various mediums and palettes of colors. It might offer some exposure to differing styles. It's not going to teach much to most though. Still I find it well worth the (used) price I paid.
Inspiring.......2005-09-28
This is a good book to be used as a springboard for your own work. It has works in different mediums, each artist briefly describing how they came to their finished work; it is not meant to be a 'how-to'; rather, to stimulate and hopefully jumpstart your temporary artist's block. It is also good to read other artist's technical approach to a subject.
Lots of pictures.......2005-09-07
I have about any art book imaginable and ordered this from an Artist International Magazine sales pitch. It has 100 different artists with no more than 20 sentences describing their "technique". I would not recommend this book for much other than seeing different paintings of different artists. And I hadn't heard of any of the painters at that.

Title is misleading...................2005-09-26
I am a beginner in every sense of the word when it comes to painting and have really struggled with painting trees. So when I did a search for "How to Paint Trees" of course this book popped up. I read whatever information was available on the book and thought "Wow, this is exactly what I'm looking for and need !!" I could not wait for the book to arrive. Well let me tell you. I was VERY disappointed. To me "How to" means I am going to show you HOW TO do something, not "let's look at a slew of finished paintings and I'll tell you WHY they did it that way !!" There are hundreds of other books available (the Walter Foster series comes to mind) that are much better. I paid $27.99 for my copy and see that are a few available for less than $10. That stokes the fire just a little more. My advice--- if you're a novice look elsewhere. If you're advanced it is very likely you already know what's in this book. Perhaps middle grounders will find it useful. I surely did not.
Very Informative.......2003-03-13
I find that this book contains a lot of basic useful information.Though I have been painting for some time it serves as a good way to review the basics.The art shown will give you ideas for your own work.All in all a very good book for this type of subject matter.
How to Paint Trees, Flowers and Foliage.......2002-06-28
I think that this book was a waste of time. I bought this book in the hope that it would help me and my friends on the real word to strive to a glorious finish in our painting, that we were going to show in an oncoming show(now we can't because we do not want the embarassment of showing what we painted) I wanted to learn how to paint beautiful flowers for our house but I couldn't due to the poor job of the author of the book. The only information that it gave me was the stuff that I already know. now after spending [good money] plus shipping I am in even more debt than I already was. So thanks to that book I might have to go live in a shelter just because I wanted to be liked by my house mates even more than i already am.
So if you were thinking of buying this book, DO NOT!!! it is terrible!!!!!!!!!!
How to Paint Trees, Flowers and Foliage.......2000-12-09
This is one great book for step by step samples and area that may need special attention.
I especially liked the step by step pictures showing how to lay down the medium and building up tones and adding details with final touches. There is much more in this book and is a great asset to beginning artist and seasoned artist to learn different techniques.
Customer Reviews:
A book for beginners!.......2006-04-14
I agree with the reviews here that this book is for beginners. Why? When I opened this book and saw the paintings inside, I felt as though I were looking at paintings done by someone who had just begun to paint and was taking a brush and just splashing color all over the canvas. Any beginner would be thrilled to learn from this book, because to duplicate what this artist has done would seem quite simple to do. I realize that this is just my opinion of an artist's work. Apparently he is well received and has won many awards. But, I could not even get passed the paintings to get to the text to see if it was actually of any value, because I felt the paintings were so horrid. I don't write many reviews, but this was something for which I felt strongly. I'm so glad I only paid $4 for a used copy.
Paul Riley Flower Painting.......2002-07-06
Excellent innovative approach to painting flowers in watercolor. Paul Riley departs from the standard format of predictable how to books and speaks of research and investigation, planning and preparation, exactly as he might as a teacher. (He runs successful painting workshops from his studio in Devon.) Flowers are synonymous with color and Riley is a consummate colorist. He uses unusual tools, calligraphy brushes and bamboo pens to achieve his effects. Beautiful color, articulately written.
Flower Painting by Paul Riley.......2001-07-06
I have just taken up watercoloring as a hobby and having had no classes in watercoloring but having a love of painting flowers, I found this book to be extremely helpful and informative. I copied several of Mr. Riley's pictures and they turned out very well. His information on watercolors and brushes to get started with are extremely helpful and I will be following his advice! I read the book from cover to cover and am looking forward to reading his book on landscapes. His book is easy for even a beginner like myself to understand and use.

Enchanted Book.......2007-09-23
I bought this book for my daughter who loves to draw and loves fairies. She has read other fictional works by the author and enjoyed them. This drawing guide had the right mix of how to and fictional background to keep her interested and inspired to draw the various examples as well as take them a step further. It also has enough detail in the information and interesting presentation to keep the "child at heart". If you want to draw this particular fantasy subject or just people, it is an enjoyable read that contains many useful details.
