There was basically no instruction. The author wrote a lot about famous still life paintings and the artists who did them. I was very disappointed with this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Lovely approach to Still LifeBy Susan GorrieI liked this book for a couple of reasons. Ms. Wagstaf talks about some of the artists who have inspired her and introduced me to artists I wasnt familiar with. I love her quiet; simple art made up of things important to her. Her work seemed beautiful and unique to me.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Katherine H. MannThis is a must have for every beginning oil painter.
