Greta Olson: I am a huge fan of Suzanne Brooker. She is probably one of the most generous authors in painting out there. I own all of her books. I will keep buying them if she keeps writing them. I think that the most interesting aspect of her books for me is the use of color theory that is woven throughout. The use of underpainting in particular. She has also included painters that I have been totally unaware of. These are people that aren’t a part of the New York scene where I lived for thirty years. But, wow, are they interesting. Her books are well worth investing in.

Harold Roth: I would put this together with Mitchell Albala's book in terms of helpfulness and beautiful images (and in fact Albala has a couple of paintings in this one, and I love his work, but I especially enjoyed the works here by Renato Muccillo). Although I paint in acrylics, not oils, I've been struggling with techniques I relied on in watercolor that don't work as well in acrylic. Most acrylic painting books seem to focus on gimmicks like gold leaf or carving shapes in gesso, and that is not what I want to do. I've looked at some other books on oil painting but they often relied on wet-in-wet and/or painterly techniques, which is not something I want to do with acrylics. I could see right away that this book gives many examples of the painter working over a dry layer, which is what I do, so these are techniques I can use. I have seen many examples of so-called Old Master type painting that involves toning the support, but I had not seen any colors used for that besides grays and earths. This is the first time I saw someone toning with cadmium orange. Right away I wanted to try that. I also appreciated the description of a flake white hue made from 1 parts titanium and 2 parts zinc. I...

Cathie Haab: I could immediately understand and put these techniques and color theory and mixing tips to use in my paintings. The included art examples are beautiful. The demo sections are very easy to follow. I have several books on oil painting but this is the most interesting and practically instructive. It was a little confusing to follow a couple of illustrations where the caption referred to rows but I think she meant columns, and at least one which captioned a brushstroke with a name she hadn’t defined or described in the text. I’ve looked for errata or how to contact the author without success.
