Just to set the record straight,

This review is from: "Color, Composition & Light" (Hardcover)
I studied with Stash back in the seventies. HE is a wonderful painter and a terrific teacher. I have seen his Big Book of Oil Painting and think it is wonderful. Lots of material and many many paintings. I am surprised you could not find anything to like about any of them......

I've owned all of Allyn Schaeffers big oil painting books. I really didn't care for any of them. Not only was the painting style not realist enough for me but the bland ugly subjects that she chose to illustrate turned me completely off the books.This book is a different. There are far fewer examples but they are much better. There are compositional sketches, multiple illustrated steps, and often the colors used are detailed and located in the paintings. Most important, the works and illustrations are of much more attractive subjects. Instead of fighting myself to try and look past the bland illustrations to try and understand her points I actually enjoy looking through this book to study it. Even with the impressionistic feel this is a huge improvement over her skys, trees, and water books and I like it a lot. |
