Oil Painter's Solution Book - Landscapes April 15, 2008
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Of the 63 art books in my library, this is the best I've run into. It's to the point with skilled illustrations. By isolating one principle at a time and giving examples, it makes it easy for the reader to grasp the issue. It also isn't full of self-serving comments. Too many art books go into the soul searching and emotional aspect of painting. But not all people the same feelings, and this makes the verbiage unnecessary.
Another plus is the binding. The ring binding means you don't have to crack the book spine to keep it open.
This book is perfect for the artist who wants to-the-point instruction that includes problem solving. I'm recommending it to the students in my classes. Frankly, it's the best I've seen.

It is written in a clear and detailed presentation. By leading with a question the artist can easily relate to the subject. The demo's are very easy to follow. Great book, spiral binding so it can be laid open for reference.

For a person getting started in the basics of painting canvasses with oils, this is a marvelous book. It tells one everything that has to be known about painting with oils from selection of brushes, type and use of materials and the various receptors (canvas, paper, cardboard, masonite, etc.) The author is a professional artist with paintings in galleries throughout the country.

This book is expertly written by Elizabeth Tolley, an experienced art teacher who is also a well-known professional artist. It is certainly the easiest handbook to use for students as well as intermediate painters. Designed to be taken out in the field, this is a sturdy, spiral-bound book that explains the outdoor painting method in easy to understand text. Moreover, the critical steps of each lesson are illustrated in full color throughout the book. The spiral binding takes half the space of ordinary books and allows you to see the page you are studying as you paint. This remarkable book takes the intimidation out of the challenge of painting "en plein air." Read this book first, and then go paint outdoor landscapes!
