Title: Don't even think about it
Product review: Is it possible to give negative stars?I'm so embarassed about buying this book.My stupidity is the only explanation...It's not about techniques. It wasn't even written by the artists. It's a running commentary on paintings. The average number of "intermediate" steps per painting is about 4-5. Each "step" is actually a different painting started from scratch, so there's no way to compare what changed between steps cause it all did. So much was skipped between enormous amounts of work they felt guilty and tried to make up for it with such sage advice as "Mr. Jones prefers to thin his paint with 1/3 damar, 1/3 turpentine, 1/3 linseed oil". Or "when sketching during sharp-focused-realism be precise". Or "shadows made it look 3 dimensional" I'm exaggerating but I think you get the point.
