A Confidence Builder, 19 Jan 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 60 Minutes to Better Painting (Hardcover)
This book is different from the other "how to" painting books. It addresses the greatest artist block--fear. If your canvas is blank because of perfectionist's ideals and being overwhelmed by the "big picture," this book is for you. It takes you through several exercises of timed paintings intended to make you forget about getting it perfect and have fun with your painting. The idea is that with practice you will improve and enjoy painting again.

Very Inspiring, 9 Jun 2005
By Painter "Samantha" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 60 Minutes to Better Painting (Hardcover)
Craig Nelson is right: "studies" are essential to learn painting and evolve into a good painter. It helps to get to the essence of your subject. I do not know any good painter who did not spend years painting before becoming really good.
This book does not have the perfect title but is excellent in content. The 60 minutes are what it takes to be in tune with what you are painting and finding ways to improve your artwork.
Each lesson presents a different challenge, and also leads you to explore a full spectrum of techniques. Perfect book to get you started on the "right brush"...and get you really in awe of the whole process.

Gets you started, 3 Nov 2003
By James W. Young III - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: 60 Minutes to Better Painting (Hardcover)
This book is essential for those who need help in getting started painting. Craig recommends items one needs to begin such as paint, palette, mediums, paint colors etc.He recommends 'quick studies' which help to avoid the fear of failure and help you to begin a painting. Also, the quick studies help you to improve on your style and editing. I think as a beginner this has been an extremely useful book.
Listmania!
