Summary: Learn From The Masters
Review: Maiotti has done a wonderful job presenting some of the practical techniques of painters both famous (Degas, Caravaggeo, Cezanne) and not-so-famous (Volpedo, Fontenesi, Maimeri) with examples and text explaning each study. Covers the basics such as paints, supplies, and color technique as well as chapters on the figure, the nude, landscapes and much more. A concise and practical series of art school lessons and a great way to learn techniques used by the masters of oil painting.
