Summary: One of the best painting books!
Review: I have been painting for a few years, and I love the way this book breaks down the steps of painting. It is helpful to know a little color theory before using this book, but if you are comfortable mixing your colors, you'll be having a good time immediately. DeMore even gives formulas for some of the color mixing she does, which is helpful if you are a beginner. This is a fun and knowledge-filled book. It also helped me to know that Louise DeMore hasn't been an artist since birth. She has a degree in mathematics. This gives me hope that even I can be a good artist, as I embark on my full-blown art career! The book is filled with wonderful advice on how to paint: that you should make mistakes in order to learn, that you should paint faster than you are comfortable with, and that you should have fun. It is absolutely wonderful! I keep reading it and reading it.

Summary: Great book for beginners
Review: This book teaches the basic and simple oil painting techniques for any new inspiring painters. The book also helps you get right down to it. As a beginner I am well aware that one has to start something that is very basic and easy before getting into paintings that are more complex and detailed. Highly recommended.
