When I was in middle school, a local Christian college offered free art lessons–an opportunity that my family (with 7 little children) gobbled up. And I am sooo glad we did. One skill that I never quite developed during those classes, however, was oil painting. Getting the oils to mix right and dreading large smears of thick oil paint on the canvas were two of my most dreaded parts of painting with this medium.
For anyone wanting to review (or be introduced) to the realm of oil painting, the book Oil Painting Essentials will serve as a
helpful tool. Covering all the basics (as “essentials” would imply), it also provides sample paintings.
I recommend this book for those who are serious about oil painting.
I received a complimentary copy of this book from Blogging for Books in exchange for my honest review.
