  • So pleased with this book
I started following Estelle on Instagram because she is such a great artist. When I saw this book, I purchased it not only to support her, but because I knew there would be tips that would help me in my own journey. It’s full of great lessons and tips. If you’re an advanced oil painter, you probably don’t need this book. If you’re a beginner or intermediate level painter, you’ll enjoy what this book has to offer. ... show more

  • Great for a beginner
Walks through basics very well. Could be a bit more detailed on places, I think, but so far very useful to me as a new oil painter.

  • Great resource book!
I am new to oil and besides color theory and knowing when to do what, this book gives you a step by step process that you can use and craft your own. Less frustration. I am surprised at the amount of white used, yet still it is filled with lots of possibilities. I find that the small format you can do and feel confident. I think this book is great for beginners and those that want to refresh skills. It arrived on time, great packaging and the pages make it without fold overs. Thank you! ... show more

I’m so glad I found this book! I am an art teacher and needed a tool like this. Step by step, easy to read and follow

  • Excellent for beginners
I’m working my way through the book by painting each exercise as detailed. She is very clear and precise. I just finished my first painting and I am delighted with the outcome. I’m a beginner struggling with how to show 3D (dimension). This book is working wonders in teaching technique. I wish she had additional books so I can continue the learning process! I’ve watched several tutorials from other talented artists, and I must say that her technique—clear and precise— has work best with me. ... show more
