Problem Solving for Oil Painters
by
Gregg Kreutz

0823040976
My favorite technique book, March 23, 1998
|
Reviewer: drdarrow@m1.sprynet.com
from Burbank, California |
I stumbled on this book by accident in an
art store library. Upon browsing through it, I realized that I
was looking at something very different than the bulk of "art
instruction" books available. The author is exceptionally
knowledgable about the medium of oils, as well as surfaces on
which to paint, but most importantly, he shows many color photos
of "bad" paintings and how to correct them. He discusses,
composition, lighting, unifying color, shadow color,etc. It is
an education in itself. An outstanding work. --This text refers

Fill Your Oil Paintings With Light & Color
by
Kevin D. MacPherson
|
1581800533
For serious painters who want to paint well, June 6, 1998
|
Reviewer: S. Pal (palpal@wolfenet.com)
from Seattle, USA |
A book full of examples of great
paintings by Kevin MacPherson, he keeps the principles of good
painting simple. I keep going back to it as my eye becomes more
discerning of subtleties in my subject matter and as I gain more
skill in the application of oil paint. Anybody interested in a
workshop by KMP and others, look for the Plein Air Painters of
America (PAPA) web page. --This text refers to the

Hawthorne on Painting
by
Charles W. Hawthorne

Hawthorne on Painting, December 17, 2001
|
Reviewer: THOMAS LAPADULA from New
Rochelle, NY United States |
This is the painters bible. No matter how
many times you reread this book, you will always find something
poignant. I have been teaching painting for over 18 years on the
college level and I have found this book to be the best. It is
the only book you will ever need to understand light color and
design in realistic figurative and landscape painting. Forget
those expensive, glossy, overpriced edtions. Hawthorne was a
master and you have his wisdom for only ($$$). I am on my fifth
copy. The other four just wore out. |
