3.0 out of 5 stars
somewhat helpful,
By Xandria (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 60 Minutes to Better Painting: Sharpen Your Skills in Oil and Acrylic (Hardcover)
I thought this book to be somewhat helpful but really didn't learn anything profoundly new. I loved a few of the paintings but overall other than reinforcing the theme of painting everyday it didn't excite me. It's an alright beginner's or entrance level intermediate artist's manual but there are better oil painting books for beginner's or the advanced intermediate artist such as Bill Creevy's book, Vicki McMurty's or Kevin MacPherson's. I found them to be more beneficial and cover more artistic ground in the areas of color theory and painting structure.

Gets you started,
By James W. Young III (Jacksonville, FL) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 60 Minutes to Better Painting: Sharpen Your Skills in Oil and Acrylic (Hardcover)
This book is essential for those who need help in getting started painting. Craig recommends items one needs to begin such as paint, palette, mediums, paint colors etc.He recommends 'quick studies' which help to avoid the fear of failure and help you to begin a painting. Also, the quick studies help you to improve on your style and editing. I think as a beginner this has been an extremely useful book.

This review is from: 60 Minutes to Better Painting: Sharpen Your Skills in Oil and Acrylic (Hardcover)
paintings are mostly done from pictures, paintings look stiff and edge control is not that great in all the paintings. The way the book is written is not all that great.
