This book was purchased as a gift for my artist friend. This book has one hundred artists' detailed explanations of their method of painting the subject matter. This is a high quality text with lots of informaton and encouragement in a condensed, user friendly format. The reproductions are excellent with a variety of painting styles and situations given.

This book is ok for what it is, which is a collection of 100 paintings by different artists and a few tidbits they share. Inspirational, maybe to some. Instructional, not in the slightest. Tips... not that I saw, though I could have missed them. The book and paintings might offer some insight to those wanting to see what can be accomplished with the various mediums and palettes of colors. It might offer some exposure to differing styles. It's not going to teach much to most though. Still I find it well worth the (used) price I paid.
