From Library Journal
Titles with words like "instant," "quick," and "easy" in them make me nervous. In an effort to avoid intimidating the student, this one promises more than can logically be delivered. Sidaway's book does present a good starting point for beginning artists. Part 1 surveys tools and materials; Part 2 outlines eight basic disciplines necessary for most genres, including line, tone composition, and perspective; and Part 3 comprises 32 projects in still life, landscape, and the figure. Nevertheless, Simon Jennings's Art Class: A Complete Guide to Painting (LJ 7/00) was more comprehensive. Jennings relied on the advice and the work of a large group of artists to help the beginner choose media, tools, and techniques. A broad variety of media was surveyed, from charcoal to pastels, watercolor, gouache, and oils, and exercises compared the same subject (e.g., a red-enameled coffeepot, painted in both acrylic and pastel). Thus, while Sidaway's book is valuable, Jennings's is a better purchase.
