DESCRIPTION:
Nancy L said Thorough Book on Representational Painting Methods.

I used to teach oil painting at the college level and would use this as a textbook. The lessons are thoughtful and move progressively from value to color study.

"beautiful, and inspiring" according to Holly777. This is by far the most helpful book on painting I have ever read. First of all, the writing is philosophical, beautiful, and inspiring. Secondly, the technical information, especially on color mixing and theory, is invaluable. Although it requires more thought, patience, and practice, the classical approach to painting rewards the artist with the satisfaction of understanding.
