5.0 out of 5 stars Very useful.

It’s good to have clear instructions step by step. More pictures of the painting in progress would be better still. Excellent early chapter on how to use different brushes, what the linseed oils etc are for.

Kathleen Lochen Staiger is a great teacher. She gives you all the information and practical advice you need, and the book is clearly written and beautifully illustrated. (It helped to read through the lesson before starting.) There are lots of preparatory lessons and colour mixing exercises, so I was quite excited when it was time to paint a still life. I never thought I'd be excited about painting a still life! At first I felt resentful of 'copying' a landscape and it felt silly 'copying' a portrait, but I thought, 'I'm a student, so just go with it'. I'm so glad I did because it was good! Kathleen teaches you so much, step by step, I feel now I could do my own paintings and feel confident about it. Thank you Kathleen!

The title says it all. I have never encountered a more useful book in explaining the hows and whys of oil painting. Can't recommend it enough.

Have read a lot of the book, which is very informative, but not yet put oil to canvas. Only due to lack of time!

I've searched for a guide on how to paint for years and this is perfect. From how to put paint onto a surface, colour mixing from the beginning to composition. Everything you need to know to start painting.
