5.0 out of 5 stars The best practical painting book., January 19, 2000
By 
I have purchased many oil painting books which unfortunately are long on theory but short on sound practical advice. Charles Sovek's book guides the beginner through many structured projects in which the essential building blocks of good painting technique are mastered. No book I have come across offers this instruction in such a clear concise manner. Living in a country which offers few oil painting courses, this book more than makes up for the lack of live classes. I highly recommend this book to budding oil painters.

5.0 out of 5 stars The absolute BEST oil painting instruction you'll find in a book (for direct painting), May 10, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Oil Painting: Develop Your Natural Ability (Paperback)
Reading and doing the lessons in Sovek's book is like having a year of art school. I know, because I went to art school.
Check that, reading and doing the lessons in Sovek's book is BETTER than a year in art school. I am not kidding.
