60 Minutes to Better Painting: Improve your Skills in Oils and Acrylic
R45.00
Quick Overview
Concentrating on quick studies allows painters to get to the essence of painting. In this book, Craig Nelson lists and explains the nine advantages to doing quick studies: editing, brush confidence, painting new subjects, composition exploration, colour exploration, exploring various lighting effects, trial before a larger painting, basic practice, and recreation.
The nine purposes for quick studies are the organising structure for this book, with explanations, examples and step-by-steps provided for each purpose. Nelson begins by introducing the idea behind the quick studies, the materials needed, and the step-by-step process for the 25, 40 and one-hour paintings. After this, the nine purposes are practiced with step-by-step demos. Oil painters, acrylic painters and painters in any opaque medium who want to build their confidence and paint faster and better will want to have this book.

How we describe the condition of our books
We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)
New: Exactly as it says.
As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.
Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.
Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.
Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.
Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
