* Leisure Painter *Really good book for beginners with simple easy to follow steps. The quality of the book paper is also very good (important when spilling paint by accident).
-- Megan Gjajxha * Customer Review *A lovely reasonably priced book with stunning pictures. Really helpful guidance on still life oil painting. Useful introductory chapters on colour and techniques which I found very accessible. Highly recommend.
-- Rob K * Customer Review *A beautiful book. Very well sectioned for ease of following it from start to finishing a painting, supported by easy to follow diagrams and photos.
* Customer Review *I have purchased other oil painting books in the past but this one is very nice. You work on small canvases or canvas panels to learn how to do the techniques before you go on to larger surfaces. This way you don't feel like you are wasting your time on something you may not like and or may not learn anything. Great book!
