Review:

This publisher's series of art handbooks aren't your usual beginner's guides, and Oils will thus appeal to a wider audience of serious art students, teachers, and graphic arts writers. Oil painting techniques are discussed in detail, from composition to contrasting pigments and materials for producing colors. The result looks slim and basic but is actually packed with advanced material for any involved in oils. -- Midwest Book Review
