      Book Description

      The Irvine Ranch in Orange County is one of the largest properties remaining from California's Rancho Era. In 1952 the Huntington Library first published the history of this gigantic ranch--from the days of the Gabrielino Indians, through the rule by Spain and Mexico, to the ownership and administration by four generations of the Irvine family. The ranch was a combination of three large land grants that went, wholly or in part, into the making of the Irvine property.
      Dr. Cleland tells the history of these grants and provides reproductions of old maps and portraits of early owners. Using ranch records and many other sources, Cleland combines sound historical scholarship with a high degree of literary skill to tell the story of the ranch in the larger setting of the history of the region and the state. An Epilogue by Robert V. Hine describes the changes that have taken place since the book was first published, and tells of the long-range plans for light industry, residential and commercial use of the land, and for a University of California campus.

        Book Description

        The story of Irvine encompasses the expansive landscape of the American West. It's a tale of ranchos and silver saddles, of branding irons and banditos. It's the history of homesteaders and frontiersmen, county gentlemen and cultured ladies, a saga of the railroads and land barons, of war and patriotism and finally of the transformation of the Wild West into the wonderful West.

        Irvine is a planned community that has succeeded in providing a safe and pleasant environment for high-tech enterprise, higher education and top-rated entertainment. Combining homespun values and international flair, the city of Irvine offers the best of the past and the present to promise a portentous future.

                      The selection of artists in this book is excellent. I am actually one of the artists featured in their other book: How did you paint that? 100 ways to paint your favorite subjects.
                      My specialty is clown and circus subject matter. Please view my work at my site: www.clownartist.com.

                      5 out of 5 stars Great book for figure artist.......2005-12-13

                      I think the human figure is a tough subject for most of us artist and I am always looking for more tips and pointers. This book is very helpful and has inspired me many times.
                      Buy it now and study up it may inspire you to be a artist and not some one who used to be an artist.

                      4 out of 5 stars International Artist Magazine - People and Figures .......2004-07-31

                      If you receive International Artist Magazine, and I highly recommend that you subscribe if you haven't already, then you've seen all of these paintings featured in this book before in the magazines. BUT - you do get an expanded view of the artwork, as well as a more in-depth interview with each individual artist, since each artist gets their own page in the book.
                      The "Find-It-Faster" feature in the book, (pictorial pages of content) is not much more than filler, in my opinion. I would have prefered 17 more featured artists, instead of 17 pages of reduced work of those already in the book. The artwork on the front of the book is indeed shown in more depth on pages 6 and 7, by the way. [see previous reviewer's statement]
                      The last page titled, "Terms you should know" is an abbreviated list of art terms every artist should already know. Oddly, the list stops at the letter "L" for "lifting." I believe there are other art terms starting with M through Z that are worthy of inclusion. Perhaps the other books have included those letters.
                      Overall, if you enjoy International Artist Magazine and long for greater details, this book series is for you since you can pick and choose your specific genre: people and figures; landscapes; still life and florals; seascapes, rivers and lakes; favorite subjects; and flowers and gardens.

                      4 out of 5 stars Emphasis on oil.......2004-07-20

                      A hundred different painters explain how they tackled in their paintings one of the most difficult, elusive and rewarding subjects: people. Each painting gets a page long explanation, focused in one of the techniques employed or in some creativity issue relevant to the subject matter. The fact that most artists list the colors they used is definitely a plus. My only qualm with this book are that, being watercolor my medium of choice, I found this books places a lot of attention in oil (and if you're a pastelist or use some other technique, you're in an even worse position). Another minor flaw is the fact that the beautiful picture on the cover is not of those analyzed inside. However, I am being nitpicky, as this book is beatiful and inspiring, and will help anyone seeking to expand his or her creative horizons-

                      This book has been taken out of the Library several times since I purchased it for our collection in Jan. My hobby is painting, and I thought the directions and examples were well written and illustrated. A very good book for the beginner to intermediate watercolor enthusiast.

                      5 out of 5 stars Great inspiration!.......2007-01-06

                      Photos are wonderful, the demos really help one to see how to get from your photo to a painting - to see from both the photographer's eye and the painter's eye. For those of you that sometimes get stuck in the detail of the photo and want to loosen up - this is a very helpful demonstration. A wonderful kickstart if you're having a "block" too - you do WANT to paint from these photos! Happy Painting!

                      I really enjoyed the focus of this book on painting water. Water is such an essential element of so many landscapes, it was really nice to read a book devoted to it, and not just a sub-chapter.

                      I also really enjoyed the numerous color reproductions of paintings throughout the book which were well-chosen and beautiful to look at.

                      4 out of 5 stars Bringing water to life !.......2000-07-12

                      It's always a burning desire to capture as close the minute details in a scenary picture or the scenery itself. Water often proved to be the hardest to express its formless self.

                      This book discussed in details the interpretation of water features using the different media like oil, pastel, water colour. All along, it had been thought that watercolour produces the best details with depth. But the book shows that other media can achieve similar effects as well.

                      Many examples are discussed in step-by-step approach and illuatsated in sequences to teach about the built-up, so it's a simplified step to learning. Many medium are explore adding to the variety of expression that beginners can explore.

                      Well formatted and recommended for beginners and intermediate painters.

                      This book offers great projects in watercolor, oil, pastel and mixed media with lots of finished work and step by step examples. It has improved the impression of "water" in my paintings remarkably.

                      He should have cut down on the number of ways to pain seascapes, rivers, and lakes and given more instructions.

                      2 out of 5 stars How Did You Paint That?.......2006-02-26

                      This book is a nice book with a lot of nice pictures and reviews of these pictures from the painters. But the painters did not go into any specifications about how they made the water look so real or what type of brushes they used. There are no directions or instructions on how to reproduce one of the paintings. I was looking for a book on how to paint real looking pictures for advanced painters and this was not that book.

                            3 out of 5 stars 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.

                            4 out of 5 stars 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.

                            2 out of 5 stars 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.
