Review: Good overall mediums, materials and techniques resource for a relative beginner - Excellent condition, arrived promptly. Good study for a beginner, I've learnt a few things. Not as chock full of intel as I had hoped, but the book is meant to be relatively beginners resource, so still ok. Good coverage of mediums, techniques and quite a few tips. Loved the fact it focuses on oils and nothing else. It changed my technique a bit after reading it.
Review: Good book for beginners. - This book was an ex-library book, in near perfect condition. The book itself covers the basics of what you need to get started in oil painting. There are helpful step-by-step images. The book focussed on colours and artists’ practical techniques more than structure and composition. Overall I would say this is a good book for people just starting out in oils.
