The Practice of Oil Painting Book Online, Solomon Joseph Solomon

Have you ever wanted to find that one golden art book, that passes on seemingly lost knowledge of how the Old Maasters went about creating enviable drawings and oil paintings. Whilst there are no real shortcuts to fine art, other than extreme hard work and thorough dedication, knowing which steps to take and having a methodology is of enormous help.

Solomon Joseph Solomon wrote the book ‘The Practice of Oil Painting’, an extremely useful guide for all budding art students. The first half of the book teaches the process of drawing, and painting, whilst the latter half focuses on the works of artists past from various European schools of art.
