The Art of Basic Oil Painting by Walter Foster Publishing.
I authored three step-by-step tutorials on how to paint landscapes in oil paint. I've attached the publishers description of the book here:
"Oil painting has inspired and intrigued artists of all skill levels for hundreds of years. In The Art of Basic Oil Painting , those interested in learning how to work in oil can find step-by-step painting lessons that are clear, approachable, and inspirational to get themselves up and running with this complex and multifaceted medium.
