The Beginner’s Guide to Oil Painting: Simple Still Life Projects to Help You Master the Basics

I have never picked up a brush in my life! This book is everything I hoped it would be to give me the courage to start painting. Excellent visuals and written descriptions. Highly recommend for the absolute beginner.

I've mostly completed the painings in this book, and I've loved every secomd of it.

This book is true to its name ! A great guide for a beginner artist to understand how to use a limited colour palette , understand values using simple still life subjects.Craig Stephens beaks down each demo into detailed step by step instructions.The subjects range from a simple lemon to painting a glass jar, and metal jug which helps to understand how to paint reflections and transparency I did a book flip through and a painting from the book on my YouTube channel

Please drive demand to reprint this book. It is outstanding quality. It's the bible for anyone wanting to get started in Oil Painting and Still Life. Craig's a brilliant teacher, we need him and his book.

A very good reference book.
