Review: Excellent read for any art medium - Excellent book. I paint with pastels, not the oils or acrylic paints that are the focus of this book. But I found this very informative and applicable regardless of the medium one works in. The information provided in understanding values and color schemes is so clearly explained with fantastic visual examples. This will be a go to reference book for me as I continue to developed my skills with pastel painting. Well worth the purchase. Review: Now the most important art book I own! - I have tons of art books and this one so far is my favorite! Why? It's VERY easy to read, well laid out, lessons are easily understood. I know it's title is "learn to paint fast and Loose", but this book is WAY more than that. It is the very FOUNDATION of painting easily explained. She puts great emphasis on creating value drawings first, before you ever think about lifting up a brush and then she explains the importance of color as it relates to value. I am a completely self taught artist, have read tons of books and watched Ytube video's to find my way. I havet always felt very frustrated with my work, couldn't put my finger on why it didn't "read" properly and I just couldn't "nail it" or get that "awe" out of my painting. What she teaches in this book is the "why" it's not working. Like me I'm sure you've looked at tons of visual art in your life, some of them pop out at you and others are mediocre at best. These lessons are what will separate you from the novice painter. Once you get what's she's trying to tell you, it's a true "ah ha" moment! I'm now off to spend as much time as I possibly can just drawing value sketches until I can do it without thinking. Buy this book, it's so much more than it's title, believe me! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #62,887 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Acrylic Painting #303 in Creativity (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 849 Reviews | ## Images ![How to Paint Fast, Loose and Bold: Simple Techniques for Expressive Painting - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/818N-gVVrRL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent read for any art medium *by A***R on November 1, 2025* Excellent book.
