Great Reference! This book has a wealth of information for the new artist. Tips, techniques, materials, tools, solvents, mediums, and how to apply them. I haven't had a chance to go through it all yet, but it seems to be the most complete book I've found on oil painting. | ||
Good for beginners Has some nice excersices but overall was rather bland to me. I would actually say the "oil painting for dummies" is a better choice. | ||
Oil painting book This book is great! It is very comprehensive and approachable for a beginner. The author goes to great length, but is concise. | ||
Best primer for oil painters I am taking a beginning oil painting class, where this book was recommended as the best reference book available. I do agree with that assessment. It is most helpful with information, materials, techniques and sources. It's really great. | ||
Excellent! After almost 30 years I am ready to start painting again. I felt very lost and over whelmed when I went to restock my painting supplies. This book has been tremendously helpful, and I will be keeping it on hand to use as a reference. | ||
