Reviews and Comments:
"This book is expertly written by Elizabeth Tolley, an experienced art teacher who is also a well-known professional artist. It is certainly the easiest handbook to use for students as well as intermediate painters. Designed to be taken out in the field, this is a sturdy, spiral-bound book that explains the outdoor painting method in easy to understand text. Moreover, the critical steps of each lesson are illustrated in full color throughout the book. The spiral binding takes half the space of ordinary books and allows you to see the page you are studying as you paint. This remarkable book takes the intimidation out of the challenge of painting "en plein air." Read this book first, and then go paint outdoor landscapes!"

Reviews from the Galleries:
“Elizabeth Tolley’s Oil Painters Solution Book is the best book that any of my client's have ever seen on how to paint in oil. It has received rave reviews and has been bought by people that don’t necessarily paint, but just want to view how Elizabeth creates her beautiful paintings."
"I am trying to restock my books and yours was so popular last year. I hope you still have them, it’s such a well designed, written, and photographed book."
Working Artists:
"An essential book for every landscape painter. This is another one that I read and re-read with great enjoyment and appreciation. Tolley is an excellent writer as well as a gifted painter."
I very recently bought your "Solutions Book-Landscapes". Very useful and I am learning a lot quickly. I tend to do things but am not sure why. Now I know! Great book. Highly recommended. Hopefully next year I'll be able to attend one of your workshops."
"Purchased your book and as a intermediate student am loving every page and instruction. Thank you for sharing so freely. Would love a DVD or a workshop."
