Customer Reviews

A good Start
Overall, the book was good. I liked the intro and the chapter on equipment. I would have liked more step by step pictures to show the development of the painting. Also, some better descriptions of painting techniques would have been helpful. The book does inspire me to experiment on my own but it doesn't give enough insight to avoid common mistakes.

Big Art Small Canvas: Paint Easier, Faster & Better With Small Oils
Recently, since I was going to attend a workshop led by Joyce Washor, I purchased her book since it was on the materials list as suggested reference. I studied it before, during, and after the course, each time being totally fascinated. It is a clearly written guide, filled with helpful illustrations and photographs of her exquisite oil paintings, designed for any artist irrespective of their experience level. This is truly a favorite in my art book collection!

Gorgeous Paintings
Disregard the size of the paintings if you like, and just look at the gorgeous colors and brushwork!!!!! So sensuous. The author is very generous with her information. Her color palette is unusual, and the color schemes she uses are really, really lovely. This is one of the top oil painting books around. I highly recommend it.
