"Nothing beats the richness and versatility of painting with the time-honored medium used by the Old Masters—it simply has no comparison! Oil paints, which dry slowly, allow ample time to layer and blend complex, deep colors that retain their vibrancy when fully dried. Now you too can capture the beauty of nature and create gorgeous landscapes in the magical medium of oil. Painting in Oil includes comprehensive, easy-to-follow instructions for painting a variety of subjects. Using this instructional book is the perfect way to start building your proficiency with this classic medium."

Some basic tips on brush handling that are straight forward, useful, yet no formulaic Bob Ross palette knife or fan brush. Nice use of reds in color choices.

Painting of bark is best part.

أنا مترددة من كتابة مراجعتي لهذا الكتاب، لأنني لا أذكر الطبعة التي قرأتها،
المهم أن عيب الكتاب كان الكم الهائل من النص على الرغم من أنه كتاب تعليمي، فكتب تعليم الرسم والتلوين تعتمد على الخطوات المصور -وهي موجودة- لكن توزيع النص في الصفحة والخط المستخدم كانا مزعجين إلى حد أنني لم أتحمل تقليب صفحاته، فالصفحات تكاد تتقيأ الكلمات المتراصة بكثافة عالية بالقرب من كل رسمة!
