This artist clearly knows his stuff! I am so delighted to find a truly excellent book on oil painting, as there are fewer books on oil techniques than watercolor by far. This one is beautifully illustrated. Most of us amateur artists prefer to "see" what someone is talking about, than to have it explained in words. He does a good job at both. This book would be good for both the amateur and the experienced artist. He gives a good overview for those starting out, and goes into much more depth about light, mood, and atmosphere or choosing your subject, for example for the more experienced artists.One isn't always happy with art books, bought sight unseen. This one has made me very happy I bought it! Thank you Robert Brindley! I'm a new fan!
I'm so pleased with "Painting Landscapes in Oils." The author gets to the point without excessive wordiness---which I appreciate. I don't purchase painting books to read an author's long life story along with everyone's story he knows. I simply want to learn how to improve my painting skills. The author includes photos of many beautifully done paintings. His style is quite loose and painterly, yet it is not so loose that it becomes unbelievable. He includes several clearly explained demonstrations. Each demonstration includes clear photos of each step. If I were to lose this book, I would be online looking to find another copy. I would absolutely recommend this book.
This is the first time I have written a review of an art book (and I buy them all the time). This is an incredibly useful book -- the one I have been waiting for. His advise is solid and to the point, but is not a formula to be followed. All of the advise is supported by beautiful illustrations and the demonstrations are very well done.
After several other reviews, I'm repeating myself. I ordered quite a few of these books for Christmas for myself, and none of them turned out to inspire me. They just aren't my style of painting. They would be wonderful of course for someone else, but after I got them and got a close look at the pictures and at the technique used, they just weren't for me. I will be selling these books.
Written in the "Kings" English with many small paintings reprinted w/o showing or talking about procedure of the paintings. Lacks tactical approach conversation. Would not buy again. George M. Postmus
Wonderful paint reference book to add to anyone's collection. The artwork alone is gorgeous. Robert's tutorials and demonstrations are both full of personal insight and helpful advice.
