"Richard Schmid, one of today's most expressive painters, applies his brush to painting the human figure as he demonstrates the oil painting techniques that have been developed and perfected by generations of master painters. In a series of clearly written and beautifully painted demonstrations, he shows the reader how to combine and vary traditional, time-tested materials and methods to create a personal style and produce masterful figure paintings."
