Joan Hansen, William F Powell
Walter Foster Publishing, 2003
Good Examples, Clear Instructions
I'm a beginner. I took a painting class earlier this year and became very interested in acrylic painting. This book is perfect for me. The steps and techniques are illustrated clearly in the examples. The examples are popular landscapes. I can easily find a place to hang up my version of those painting in my house and be proud of it.

Color Mixing Recipes 5 reviews
William F Powell
Walter Foster, 2004
Color Mixing Recipes
I do like spiral-bound books which feature either brushstrokes or in this case, recipes, as the pages lie flat (there is no spine to flatten or pages which keep flipping at a vital stage). The book starts with a general overview of color theory but doesn't get obsessive about it. Then come the recipes which are clear, easy to understand and there is a plastic color mixing grid at the back to ...

William F Powell
Walter Foster, 1989
For Beginners
I had to use this book in one of my first drawing classes for college. The ease and depth which the topic of perspective is presented is easy enough to understand but, very useful for learning the proper art of perspective. I would recommend this book to anyone wishing to learn this fundamental principle that is perspective.

William F. Powell
Walter Foster, 2007
Excellent Color Source for Anyone
I've been an artist all my life and yet never really tackled watercolors.
So, since colors are the hardest part of watercolor painting, especially greens, I wanted a book that I could just glance at and have a recipe for the color I need. Sometimes you can end up with mud, or a color that clashes with your intention of the color you have in your head.
This book really helps me to just turn a ...

Drawing: Landscapes with William F. Powell (HT258)2 reviews
William F. Powell
Walter Foster, 2003
Excellent choice for landscape sketchers
First, I must say I enjoy the physical dimensions of the book. It is tall; it is wide; it is thin. This makes a good sketching instruction book almost from the beginning. I like to doodle, and I like pencils. I like trees, and I like scenery. What better than a pencil-drawing-book-about-trees-and-scenery? What can I say. The techniques used in this book are extremely helpful, even for ...

The Record of Tung-Shan (Classics in East Asian Buddhism)1 review
University of Hawaii Press, 1986
Nice "Word Portrait" of a Soto Zen Patriarch
This thin little volume is a fine example of the "recorded sayings" genre of Chan/Zen literature. Enigmatic yet humorous, unpretentious yet profound, terse yet poetic. William Powell really catches the flavor of the text in his translation, and his introduction and annotations helpfully orient the reader and fill in the knowledge that the anonymous writers/compilers would have assumed on the part ...
