Beginners GT Oil Painting

As a beginner to oil painting, I know I ought to be painting apples and oranges; but I just purchased this book a few days ago and have already completed a painting using one of the ten step-by-step technique/lessons Ms. Gair takes you through. Granted, my painting looks amateurish but it was fun and I learned a lot! I am excited to try each of the techniques! Descriptions of supplies, equipment, and basic techniques are fairly brief. I find this book challenging and inspirational!

A Wonderful book. It does not have as much in depth discussions on techniques as in Allrich's book, however, it has a wide range of styles and exhibitions. It is so much fun to read it. This is the book displayes the beauty of oil painting to beginner's.
