(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Basic Oil Painting Techniques (Basic Techniques) (Paperback)
This painting book would be more aptly described as a tutorial on painting different subject matter. IN other words, style is not really considered, but rather this book is a step by step guide on how to put the paint on the canvas effectively. If you want to read about differing styles I would recommend Galton's Oil Painting encyclopedia. This book in contrast, has step by step techniques for painting flowers, portraits, land and seascapes. I found the portraits to be very helpful in their color recommendations and starter ideas. Nevertheless, I was looking for a better-rounded book that covers style as well as technique. If you are new to painting and have no idea where to start, this book might be for you - if you are looking for inspiration on differing styles than try Galton's book.
