 Oil Painter's Solution Book Landscapes July 26, 2008
M. Jones (Alabama)
Elizabeth Tolley's "Oil Painter's Solution Book" was particularily helpful with information on the use of resin mediums and odorless mineral spirits. As an "old fashioned painter" using the traditional stand oil, damar varnish, and turpentine medium, this was an easy-to-understand and useful source.
The sprial bound book was so much better than the usual paper back or standard bound books. It opens flat for easier use when painting.
I would recommend this book for painters that are somewhat better than beginners or for "holiday painters" looking for information to help improve their work.
Seasoned painters may not find the book very useful, unless they are looking for specific information or the lovely images of Tolley's work.
A Painter's Must-Have July 23, 2008
P. Mayer (Woodstock, IL)
Excellent and comprehensive. The author covers all of the basics you need to know as an artist and explains things in wonderful detail with illustrations. I can see that I will continue to use this book as a resource when I am trying to resolve an issue or just learn new ways of doing things. I would highly recommend for beginning painters. Experienced painters woould also treasure this book.

I started painting with oils only a few months ago and have aquired several books regardihg oil painting in an effort to examine several points of view on the subject. This book, while it may not be the most helpful to me at this stage in my development, it is simply an excellent source of information for old and new artists alike. I would recommend adding this to any library of anyone just beginning a very complex hobby.

I was very pleased with this oil painter's solution book. It gave very clear and helpful answers to many of my questions about landscape painting, and the paintings themselves were quite beautiful.
