Customer Rating: Summary: Problem solving for oil painters Comment: The discussion of specific problems such as lack of depth,misplaced shadows, etc. and the illustrations are extremly helpful. The author illustrates what many teachers say. A great book!oil po Customer Rating: Summary: Practical and inspiering Comment: For the beginner and intermediate artist, "Problem solving for oil painters" is a must have on the bookshelf. The more experienced artist isn't going to learn anything new from this book, however it is a good book to keep for practical reference and inspiration. Beautifully illustrated with very many photographs of breath taking oil paintings. That alone is a reason to get this book. Customer Rating: Summary: Mostly good Comment: This book has really great ideas and illustrations to go with everything, which really assisted me in seeing the value of what he talked about. If you are an oil painter, probably more especially beginning painters, or any kind of painter or color artist of any kind, this book has great insight, beautiful examples, and a lot of practicality. The only thing I didn't like about it was that the only pictures in the book are pictures that the author painted. This of makes the review of the pictures a bit biased. This is, however, something that can be overcome by by reading a section and going to a museum or looking up art online to see how the specific principle in discussion applies. I am a beginning painter and I find the book very useful. Customer Rating: Summary: For serious beginners or intermediate painters Comment: This book suits more for the serious beginners or intermediate painters 'cause you have to be familiar with the basic concepts. It offers a way to verify the quality of your paintings point by point. My point of view is that you have to read it entirely before you can point on the problem. The topics are easy to reach after you know what you're searching for. Sometimes I would like to have more examples or explanations on some points. Simple but effective if you're not a complete beginner... Customer Rating: Summary: Problem solving for oil painters Comment: An excellent clearly written informative book. Will be much referred to and treasured for many years. Thankyou Mr. Kreutz
