The Beginner's Guide Oil Painting,

This review is from: The Beginner's Guide Oil Painting: A Complete Step-By-Step Guide to Techniques and Materials (Paperback)
As a beginner to oil painting, I know I ought to be painting apples and oranges; but I just purchased this book a few days ago and have already completed a painting using one of the ten step-by-step technique/lessons Ms. Gair takes you through. Granted, my painting looks amateurish but it was fun and I learned a lot! I am excited to try each of the techniques! Descriptions of supplies, equipment, and basic techniques are fairly brief. I find this book challenging and inspirational!

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Beginner's Guide Oil Painting: A Complete Step-By-Step Guide to Techniques and Materials (Paperback)
I appreciate the information in this book for beginners. It has helped me greatly with basic oil painting techniques and the illustrations are very good. It explains painting alla prima, impasto, working "fat over lean", using a toned ground, scumbling,expressive brushwork, knife painting and blending. This information was what I was looking for in a guide. I have now completed my first oil painting and utilized some of the techiniques described in this book.
