4.0 out of 5 stars
Practical approaches, Sep 24 2003
By George M Sharum - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Richard Schmid Paints the Figure; Advanced Techniques in Oil. (Hardcover)
My recommendation is based upon the book's content, not collectability value. I have been painting for over thirty years and find the information, techniques and insites in this book very helpful for the figure painter. I often go back to my reference books to rekindle my interest in various techniques and I use Schmid's book when I want to return to oil techniques for figure work. Unfortunatly, most of the good texts on figure work in oil are out of print (like Schmid's). Based on the book's usefulness, I recommend it to any figure artist.

Don't waste your money on this book., April 21 2002
By SZEWC - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Richard Schmid Paints the Figure; Advanced Techniques in Oil. (Hardcover)
I am a figurative painter and I have read this book. I can only conjecture that all the recent publicity about Richard Schmid has raised the price of this book to the outer limits!I was glad I didn't fall into this price-hipe trap. The book originally sold for around $12.95 and I think that as a book that is what it is worth. I have the same sentiments for "Richard Schmid paints the landscape". If you are an artist I recommend the most recent book, "Alla Prima Painting " which is still way overpriced at $100. but if it is Mr. Schmid's technique and experience you are after this will help you to understand his thoughts, philosophy and technique a little better. Book collecters may feel differently about the inflated price. I am not writting for their benefit but for the artist or art enthusist.

3.0 out of 5 stars
overpriced, Sep 24 2005
By Louise D. Hof "artist" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Richard Schmid Paints the Figure; Advanced Techniques in Oil. (Hardcover)
I have other books by Richard Schmid. The price for this book, however, is extremely overpriced. The range of $200 to $400 for a used book of this size is much too high His later book "ALL I know about painting" is worth much much more. I paid $100 for this book 6 years ago (new).
