“Mr. East has not attempted in this book to write of landscape painting in its elementary stages. His aim has been rather to give the already qualified student an insight into certain truths which have been revealed to him in his own practice of the art. To correct a false attitude towards nature, and to help the reader to understand the importance of technique, has been the aim of this book. It is illustrated by eight landscapes and a page of studies of effects in colour, and many halftone pictures, chiefly from the painter’s works; also an admirable selection from those pencil sketches in which he excels.”—Int. Studio.
“The letterpress is somewhat elementary. The book is redeemed, however, by a genuine love for the subject.”

“We cannot think of any painter who could be a better guide than Mr. East. He is not contemptuous of the beginner, and he has a literary faculty which enables him to explain his meaning very clearly.”

“This work should be of great use to many a student, amateur and artist. Mr. East writes with distinctness, and has the power of making his reader understand clearly the various processes, mental and technical, which he uses for the construction of a landscape.”
