 Great Reference! August 30, 2008
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 June 30, 2008
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 May 26, 2008
This book is great! It is very comprehensive and approachable for a beginner. The author goes to great length, but is concise.

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! October 19, 2007

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.
