[Fredrick Danysh · Rating 3 out of 5]

A beginner's guide on how to paint, especially in the medium of oils. Basics regarding color, composition, and contrast are among the topics covered. Many illustrations.

[Marla Fasano · Rating 1 out of 5]

Completely unreadable. The basics were ok such as ratios of linseed oil but when it comes to pages of reading dry script about the nuanced yellow used in these b&w illustrations, it's pointless.
