This book has what any beginning oil painter needs to know. The exercises start out simple, with each subsequent lesson building on the ones before. There's even a shopping list with everything you'll need to do the lessons (without any of the "well, some artists like this product for this reason and others don't" nonsense you usually have to wade through with other artists' books, which can get really confusing to a novice like myself. Another thumbs-up is the author encourages the reader to buy student grade oil paint. The reasoning is something I've had to grapple with: I don't want to buy a $15-$30 tube of professional grade oil color when all I need for the moment is to learn how to handle the paint. The student grade color she recommends is affordable and I don't have to feel bad about wasting any. To sum everything up, I'm glad I bought it and I hope my painting and knowledge of painting will improve because of this book.Read full review

Looks interesting for a refresher course or for beginners. Haven't felt like using it, as yet.
