Well done ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book by and for painters. *by B***S on 28 March 2026* Finally, a painting book for me. Underpainting, glazing, dead color, taking a painting from start to finish, but particularly following the old masters techniques, is exactly what I've been looking for for years. Thank you for finally getting around to an actual teaching book. Only wish it included acrylic. Highly recommended. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/409244379-independently-published-realistic-oil-painting-contemporary-guide-to-realistic-oil](https://www.desertcart.us/products/409244379-independently-published-realistic-oil-painting-contemporary-guide-to-realistic-oil) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-07-11*
