5.0 out of 5 stars clear, concise, inspiring--an outstanding book, November 8, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Timeless Techniques for Better Oil Paintings (Hardcover)

This is a book for anyone interested in improving their painting skills. There are a thousand books on art technique out there, but this one is a gem. Whatever your skill level, if your interest is traditional, representational painting, there is something to be learned here. I've been painting seriously for ten years, and I've never seen the basics so clearly explained. We all need to bust ourselves back down to fundamentals from time to time, and this book does it in a way that is a true pleasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars Value discussion is clear/concise & excellent reproductions, February 3, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Timeless Techniques for Better Oil Paintings (Hardcover)

Have read many art books over many years and found this to be one of the best dialogues on values I ever read. Color harmony, placement and conceptual input very useful to experienced artist. Artists works are lively with color and represent a skilled painter of people and places.
