This instructive volume introduces not only the techniques of oil painting but also the underlying principles of figure drawing. Written by a distinguished PreRaphaelite painter, portraitist, and book illustrator, the treatment begins by explaining the construction of the figure, head, and limbs. Succeeding chapters illustrate these teachings with examples of images by the Old Masters, including paintings from the Italian, Dutch, Spanish, French, and British schools.The Birmingham Daily Post pronounced this volume probably the most useful handbook for art students that has yet been published. Students at every level of expertise will benefit from its discourses on light and shade, monochrome study, still life in color, painting from life in monochrome, coloring a monochrome, and painting in color direct from life. Thirtytwo fullcolor pages complement this new edition of a timeless guide.

This Dover art instruction book is a treasure! The techniques are broken down so well, and the advice on blending colors is super helpful. I appreciate the combination of oil painting and drawing tips. Highly recommend for art students!

Incredible Resource for Beginners
As a beginner in oil painting, this book has been my go-to. The explanations are clear, and the step-by-step instructions really help. I love how it covers both oil painting and drawing techniques. Definitely worth it!

Great content, but a bit dense
The content in this book is fantastic, but I found some sections a bit overwhelming. It's packed with useful information, so I have to take my time to digest it all. Still, it’s a solid pick for anyone serious about learning.

Perfect for Aspiring Artists
I bought this book as a gift for my son who's really into drawing and painting. He loves it! The techniques are practical and easy to follow, which has helped him improve a lot in just a few weeks.

Not what I expected
I thought this book would have more visuals and examples, but it leans heavily on text. It’s still informative, but I was hoping for a more hands-on approach with less reading. Might work better for advanced learners.
