Must be reprinted

I found the Swedish edition in a shop in Stockholm. It's a great book about great paintings. Very instructive! Would love to have a copy in English, though.

This book is extremely helpful and insightful for any painter, no matter the medium he or she uses. I learned so much from the methodology and style with more detail than I have ever seen. I would love to have this book by my side when painting. Please reprint this book. Thank you. I will pass the word on to fellow Artists. Sincerely Elizabeth Breslin

Review of painters' secrets from Giotto to David Hockney.

Positively eye opening! As a watercolorist making the transition to oil, I received many wonderful insights that helped me confirm the direction I want to take with this difficult yet rewarding medium. Great for anyone starting in oils or who has painted for years and just wants to see "how the other guy's doing it." One sour note, however, in the inclusion of Jackson Pollock -- a "spasher," not a painter. Overall, the best book in my studio library. Please, dear publisher, print some more copies of this wonderful book!
