This book contains easy-to-follow instructions, great pictures, and many creative touches that provide every artist with inspiration and confidence. I was new to oil painting when I purchased the book, but now I feel like I've been doing it for years!

By RAPHAEL (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creative Oil Painting: A Step-By-Step Guide and Showcase Techniques from 15 Master Painters (Hardcover)
This book shows how well oil paint can be manipulated into so many styles of painting. The artists in this book are true masters of their craft. Just seeing the pictures give such inspiration to the viewer. Kudos to Steve Doherty for doing such a well put together book.
