Summary: 14 Distinctive Approaches to Oil Painting with More Than 100 Creative Ideas. This book is intended to inspire serious students to expand their repertory of techniques and explore 14 entirely different approaches to painting first pioneered by famous artists of past generations. Students are encouraged to begin by following the book's step-by-step instructions for each approach, and then progress beyond simple copying by adapting elements from different approaches to create a language that is distinctively their own.

Representative paintings by these and other artists are analyzed and explained in a way that will encourage students to develop exciting new modes of personal expression
