Customer Reviews
Excellent reference for my art library
Well written, illustrated and bound work on the art of landscape painting in oil. One of the best available for landscape artists of all levels.
Oil Painter's Solution Book Landscapes
Elizabeth Tolley's "Oil Painter's Solution Book" was particularily helpful with information on the use of resin mediums and odorless mineral spirits. As an "old fashioned painter" using the traditional stand oil, damar varnish, and turpentine medium, this was an easy-to-understand and useful source.
The sprial bound book was so much better than the usual paper back or standard bound books. It opens flat for easier use when painting.
I would recommend this book for painters that are somewhat better than beginners or for "holiday painters" looking for information to help improve their work.
Seasoned painters may not find the book very useful, unless they are looking for specific information or the lovely images of Tolley's work.
A Painter's Must-Have
Excellent and comprehensive. The author covers all of the basics you need to know as an artist and explains things in wonderful detail with illustrations. I can see that I will continue to use this book as a resource when I am trying to resolve an issue or just learn new ways of doing things. I would highly recommend for beginning painters. Experienced painters woould also treasure this book.
