  • nice quality product
VERY INFORMATIVE I ENJOY THE KNOWLEDGE FROM THIS BOOK

  • Not what I was looking for
I had a hard time understanding some of the techniques at beginning. Also, steps were not in depth enough for projects. I'm learning wet on wet, so his techniques didn't work that great for me. Overall, not the best book for a beginner.

  • Not just for beginners
I own a lot of art books, including oil painting books, and have gotten reasonably proficient at painting. I purchased this book thinking I might give it to my brother, who wants to learn to paint, and then I started reading it. Smart and succinct, this book covered some of the basics that no other text I own did, in particular brush strokes. I'm delighted that I bought it and may have to buy another for my brother. :-) ... show more

  • Pages torn from book
Book in excellent condition but pages torn out in the middle of the book.

  • Excellent Book
I normally don’t like books written by the British because they’re so eager to share their perception of their own elevated knowledge that in their own minds no one can possibly know as much as a British person does in my experience. This guy knows how to write though and he really sticks to the subject and it’s very nice. It was very helpful for me and I do appreciate it a shocker for me from a Brit. I usually avoid British books like the plague. ... show more
