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: Thoughtful advice from a knowledgable painter - This is not one of the plethora of step-by-step how to books, most of which are mediocre. Instead, it is a truly useful collection of advice on how to improve one's painting. I have read at least two dozen books on painting and find this to be one of the very best in terms of the topics covered, clarity, examples, and quality of advice. I read it repeatedly as I assimilated and used the knowledge. The advice is practical, insightful, and immediately useful. My work has improved significantly since I started applying the ideas in this book. Buy a copy, read it and see your painting improve. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #52,378 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9 in Acrylic Painting #269 in Creativity (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 861 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) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent read for any art medium *by A***R on November 1, 2025* Excellent book.

This has been difficult and frustrating. Then I saw a video by Patti Mollica and got her AMAZING book. This is not a how to paint this flower or that tree book. This book explains foundations and how to make your paintings consistently successful. I thought I understood value and color theory, ha! NOW I understand it much much better than I did and just painted my first successful acrylic painting by applying her simple explanations. I love her style but mine is a little different. No matter, her book is not about painting clones of her work but applying simple but very important ideas to your work. ## Frequently Bought Together - How to Paint Fast, Loose and Bold: Simple Techniques for Expressive Painting - Daily Painting: Paint Small and Often To Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist - The Landscape Painter's Workbook: Essential Studies in Shape, Composition, and Color (Volume 6) (For Artists, 6) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/56676662-how-to-paint-fast-loose-and-bold-simple-techniques-expressive](https://www.desertcart.no/products/56676662-how-to-paint-fast-loose-and-bold-simple-techniques-expressive) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
