4.0 out of 5 stars Useful for painters, April 6, 2008

This review is from: A Brush With Nature: The Gere Collection of Landscape Oil Sketches, Revised Edition (National Gallery London Publications) (Hardcover)

This book is useful for young artists learning to paint, because there are several unfinished sketches, so it's easy to understand how the work has been "constructed" by the painter, and which is the base colour of the canvas.
I haven't seen the original paintings at the National Gallery, so I can't review the images reproduction quality, but they seems good.

Since there are not to many product details. I get lost with the title, I thought it teach you how to use the brushes in painting,unfortunately there are only faded color drawings inside this book.I made a mistake buying this book.
