I have been looking for this type of concise information about oil painting. I have only been painting in oils for a little over a year. This is the missing link, the information that is skipped in oil painting classes (at least the one I took). I guess they think you already know the basics. Glazes, mediums, and much more are explained. This covers more than just the techniques in learning to paint, it teaches you to tap into your creativity. Lots of easy to understand exercises. I wish there were more color examples. I would like to see the entire book printed on better paper.
