Product Description
Designed to help the beginner start painting immediately without overwhelming them with theory, the books in this series contain a mixture of projects and inspirational "gallery" examples, encouraging readers to move on to build up a range of skills and techniques. This title covers oils. Topics include: basic techniques; storing pastels; toning papers and boards; fixing and squaring up; and information on types of paints, paper and brushes to use. Ten projects aim to develop skills such as expressive strokes, blending, layering, broken colour, scumbling, feathering, hatching and mixing pastels with other media.

A Wonderful book. It does not have as much in depth discussions on techniques as in Allrich's book, however, it has a wide range of styles and exhibitions. It is so much fun to read it. This is the book displayes the beauty of oil painting to beginner's.

The Beginner's Guide Oil Painting, 10 Aug 2007
By C. J. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oil Painting (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)
As a beginner to oil painting, I know I ought to be painting apples and oranges; but I just purchased this book a few days ago and have already completed a painting using one of the ten step-by-step technique/lessons Ms. Gair takes you through. Granted, my painting looks amateurish but it was fun and I learned a lot! I am excited to try each of the techniques! Descriptions of supplies, equipment, and basic techniques are fairly brief. I find this book challenging and inspirational!

Good Book for Beginners, 30 Jun 2009
By CrochetGranny7 "Christian Blogger" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Oil Painting (Beginner's Guides) (Paperback)
I appreciate the information in this book for beginners. It has helped me greatly with basic oil painting techniques and the illustrations are very good. It explains painting alla prima, impasto, working "fat over lean", using a toned ground, scumbling,expressive brushwork, knife painting and blending. This information was what I was looking for in a guide. I have now completed my first oil painting and utilized some of the techiniques described in this book.
