Another great set of lessons, tips and "how to".......2002-11-13
E. John's latest book, published just a couple of years ago, is a lot more "slick" than these other two published back in the 70's, but most of the advice and examples are similar in all three. For any serious seascape painter getting all three books is beyond thinking about, even if you aren't necessarily going to work on trying to emulate his style, some of the techniques are common to most marine painting and all of the general rules on wave anatomy, how foam is created, how light is dispersed, etc. are common to any seascape.
While painters like Lassen, Wyland (and the many seascape artists he features), Walfrado, Tabora, Nelson, etc. may have dominated the "popular" art scene in the last 10-15 years in Hawaii, Japan, Florida, California and probably other spots as well, they still have a few years to paint before they approach what E. John has under his belt. I still think his timeless and classic seascapes are among the best that have been produced.
Another painter that has about the same number of years under his belt is Loren Adams, who unfortunately probably won't be producing a book on painting in his life time. E. John not only produces books with "how to" steps, he has released video lessons and has given (maybe still does) lessons each year during studio workshops. Loren is managed by those that feel sharing his techniques would somehow hurt their cash flow, so he is kept under a tight leash. It is a shame because he is perhaps the most talented marine painter alive. Some of his work can be seen at his web site and it is useful to compare his style with that of E. John and some of the more impressionist painters.
I've been looking for and buying books on seascape painting for a few years as well as studying works in galleries from Carmel to Kauai and I can assure any painter that they are getting lessons from one of the best in E. John Robinson.

This is a very thorough encyclopeadia of metalworking.......1998-12-26
Well written encyclopedic introduction to art metal work.......1998-03-12
The book is well illustrated in black and white, demonstrating a logical progression of techniques from ancient to mid 20th century. There is little except sketchy mention of industrial processes such as electroforming, heavy casting and spinning and none at all of recent gimmicks such as sonic carving.
In the paranoid and safety conscious social climate of the late 1990's the most notable deficit in this book is the general absense of discussion about health and safety hazard issues. (I suppose that when the book was written authors still presumed their readers had either common walking-around sense to know that fire is hot, dusts and fumes toxic and hammers would mash their itty bitty fingers or if in doubt would go look up safe shop practices in other books written on that subject.)

Poignent, powerful and emotion filled, tears of joy/sadness........1998-11-18
Colonel Smith's story begins with an unbelievable turn of events that if they weren't true, you would think they were scripted fiction. If anything could go wrong on his fateful day it did. As he takes you through the result of those misfortunes, his attention to detail puts you looking over his shoulder and wanting to lean in to help him. The feelings, pride and emotions he exhibited were enough to keep the pages turning and make you want to read faster and faster. As the events of his debacle unfold you'll find yourself wishing this wasn't history-that it was happening now and you could do something about it early on before it became his nightmare. The writing style is complete and solid without becoming too technical. It has interesting insight into the pilot and soldiers roles and duty without losing sight that it is a story of courage, faith, family and most of all hope. This is the perfect story to make us all take a step back to help us forget the little things that may be a nuisance and appreciate the big things that are taken away from some. It will make you look at all who protected us and our freedoms gratefully.

Explains it simple and fast.......2000-12-12
It appealed to me in the way it approaches the different concepts (not the easiest ones in AE) and explains them clearly, stating examples and using the 'sidebar' method for indepth information.
I have gotten through to page 140 now and I absolutely love it. I use it both as a manual (continuous reading) and for reference (looking up stuff), and it fits both uses.
I am planning to finish it before Xmas and the only thing standing in my way is my REAL job. One note of critic though - the CD is not packed with goodies (make up your mind if that is a good or a bad thing) and besides that, there are few useable thing on it.
But overall, the book alone is worth the - very low, I might add - price.
