5.0 out of 5 stars
Informative and fun
I am a serious painter and I refer to this book often. It is a collection of advice and demos from many contemporary artists. Landscape, portrait, and still life are all represented. The artists' works are quite varied, so the result is interesting and fresh. I enjoy this book and think other artists will too.

Not for advanced painters

Very informative but feels a bit lacking at times,
This review is from: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Oil Painting (Paperback)
Being new to painting (only about a year) I felt this book gave some good ground work but lacked indepth information for someone just starting out. Don't get me wrong its a great book, packed full of info accross lots of topics, and there is its weakness, too many topics, not enough depth on any one.
