Customer Reviews

Mastering Color

This is a very informative book. The artist shared lots of information in a very understandable way. The book is well organized. The paintings of the author help illustrate the information. I teach oil painting and think the author got her information across quite well. I refer to the book often because of the authors very up beat love of painting. I think, however, that the editor should have done a better job in sorting out some of the writing.

Interesting and Helpful

I liked Ms. McMurry's approach with how she both wrote the book and what she decided to share in regards to her knowledge with oils. I would really give this book 4 and a half stars because in order to be a five star it would have to include even more info, however the book is well-printed, the examples excellent and it includes lots of photographic information along with the written descriptions. One of the better oil painting books out there. I wasn't disappointed.

Mastering Color: The Essentials Color Illustralted with Oils

I am really pleased that I have purchased this book, as it has given me an insight as to what colors to use in my paintings. I have been painting for years and I now feel more confident in choosing color range - thank you Mastering Color. The book is also very well explained.

KARIN WAS RIGHT

I just got this book and I too am glad I did not pay attention to the ONE negative review.... I know, everybody has the liberty of saying what they think, but I was truly surprised and inspired once I opened this book! I cannot wait to finish reading it and putting into practice its tips! Thank you Vicki Mcmurry!
