Summary: Good Technical book
Comment: I bought several book before this one looking for the information I wanted, and this book has been the best so far. It covers technical and practical information on oil painting supplies, paints, canvas and canvas prepping.
This book is NOT a book on actual painting skills and techniques, (Shading, lighting, brush strokes, styles, etc...) This IS a great book on your artist tools, paints, brushes, and work prepping which is a subject that is not readily covered in most books, and I feel is just as important for a good painting.
Rating: 3
Summary: A good book to have on the side
Comment: A well written book with plenty of technical informations. I could do without the techniques described that have to do with (for instance) incorporating beads in the oil painting (quite tacky in my opinion).
What it lacks is information on mixes such as including alkyd with regular oil painting or amulsion techniques, etc......
Rating: 5
Summary: A great reference book for artists
Comment: Although starters may find "new" things more often than professional artists when reading this book, I give this book a 5-star rating as a reference book. The book covers from material, tools, to brushstroke and other techniques in oil. In brief, readers can learn what to buy to prepare painting in oil, how to put material together (canvas, priming canvas, etc...), and how to achieve painting effects that help express ideas in oil.
How much better someone's painting gets after using this book may vary from individual to individual, but this book is definitely a must-have for any oil artist.
