Having just completed of a daily sketching challenge in December, I'm already familiar with the concept of daily painting. This book was not what I expected it to be, and in that the fault is all mine. It does have some interesting background about the author and the Daily Painting blog/meme, but much of the book pertained to oil painting, which is not something I do. However, there are some general tips on composition, value, and color mixing that I found very helpful, and the art throughout is Having just completed of a daily sketching challenge in December, I'm already familiar with the concept of daily painting.

This book is both informative and very inspiring! The author encourages artists of all skill levels to practice their art every day (it's ok if you miss a day!) to become better at their craft, and also break free from a rut.December 8, 2015
Starting a career as a full time artist can be incredibly daunting! Carol shares great tips and practical advice based on her own experience. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to be a full time artist!Jun 19, 2014
This book has some great advice/ideas if you’re currently having artist’s block. And if you’re fine right now, but you’ve had a block in the past so you KNOW you’re going to have one in the future (and let’s be brave but realistic about this, YOU WILL.) this book has some great nuggets of wisdom to help you get through your tough spots. I’m not saying it will fix your art brain immediately. (That would rule though, right?)

This was a fun, practical and inspiring book about making art. I am a writer, not a painter, but I am exploring how different artists approach their process and craft. The daily paintings remind me of those times I have committed myself to write daily poems. It's about showing up and being open to what's there. Experimentation and repetition are also important. This allows for growth. The best thing about this book is her attitude towards creating: the act of making art should be filled with This was a fun, practical and inspiring book about making art.

Recently I've discovered the art of oil painting. It only took wanting to learn for about 15 years before I finally enrolled in an oil painting class! I've loved learning about this beautiful form of art so when I saw this book, Daily Painting: Paint Small and Often To Become a More Creative, Productive, and Successful Artist by Carol Marine, I couldn't resist!Jan 22, 2019
I wish I read this book when I started painting. This book is not only about painting daily but about everything! Values, color choices, contrast, composition and so on. I learned things my art teachers were supposed to teach me but obviously didn't. If you are serious about becoming a painter, this is the book to get started. (And if you are already experienced, it's a good one to refresh your memory)Jul 05, 2014
Dislciaimer: I received a copy of Daily Painting from netgalley.Jun 20, 2016
This is an excellent book to get a person started in a daily painting habit. I enjoyed it a great deal and will probably retread it in the near future. Carol Marine is a gifted artist and shares many ideas about how to maintain and improve as an artist and painter.Nov 22, 2014
Great insight on how to paint daily, use it for profit is you so choose, learning to play with colors, textures, styles, etc. this is a great tutorial from beginner to expert.Aug 05, 2015
One of the best books I have read for painters looking to progress along their path. Although chock-full of various technical approaches with interesting, personal interpretations by the author, the real breakthrough of this book is the suggestion to create one small painting *every* day – and to put it up for sale! There is plenty of instruction and support (not just within the book, but online as well), and given the number of people quoted in the book and the number of participants online, One of the best books I have read for painters looking to progress along their path. Although chock-full of various technical approaches with interesting, personal interpretations by the author, the real breakthrough of this book is the suggestion to create one small painting *every* day – and to put it up for sale! There is plenty of instruction and support (not just within the book, but online as well), and given the number of people quoted in the book and the number of participants online, many artists have had success with this approach. I'm thoroughly convinced that the painting-a-day practice (and resultant mentality) is a sure-fire express lane to improved technique and sales. 4.5 stars; I'm only taking off 1/2 a star because there's a small chunk of the book plus minor details throughout that apply only to oil painting, but I definitely recommend this book to acrylic painters, too. ...moreJun 06, 2015
For most of my life I could neither paint, nor draw. It didn't bother me much until I started homeschooling my kids following Waldorf curriculum and my artistic ignorance started to get in the way of good education. Oh for sure, I have stood in the Louvre in front of Mona Lisa and looked at Titian’s Bacchus in London’s National Gallery. I studied Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel in the Vatican and admired sunflowers in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. I liked art; I just couldn’t will my fingers For most of my life I could neither paint, nor draw. It didn't bother me much until I started homeschooling my kids following Waldorf curriculum and my artistic ignorance started to get in the way of good education. Oh for sure, I have stood in the Louvre in front of Mona Lisa and looked at Titian’s Bacchus in London’s National Gallery. I studied Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel in the Vatican and admired sunflowers in the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam. I liked art; I just couldn’t will my fingers to produce anything that could even remotely be called a painting or a drawing, and I was finding it hard to instruct and inspire my kids through our art curriculum. I finally took some art classes and learned that ability to paint was a learnable skill. Not everybody can paint masterpieces, but everybody can learn how to paint the basics. Ever since my discovery I’m on the lookout for good how-to art books.Sep 28, 2018
I was skeptical when I picked it up - what is there to say about daily painting except "paint every day"? But the book is part instructional, part inspirational. There's a lot of great practical advice about composition and setting up your work space. But the main focus of this book is to suggest that if you're struggling creatively, try creating smaller pieces more frequently. You'll feel less overwhelmed by a 5"x 5" canvas than a giant wall-filling one, and customers are more likely to buy a I was skeptical when I picked it up - what is there to say about daily painting except "paint every day"?

But the main focus of this book is to suggest that if you're struggling creatively, try creating smaller pieces more frequently. You'll feel less overwhelmed by a 5"x 5" canvas than a giant wall-filling one, and customers are more likely to buy a smaller $20 piece than something that's worth a month's salary. The author even has a unique sales model: joining with other artists to sell small pieces on a website. The whole read was cheerful and inspirational. It's good advice for people working in all creative avenues: if you're feeling overwhelmed or blocked by a larger project, try stepping back and working on something smaller. ...moreMay 02, 2018
This book saved me from a VERY dark place in my life as an artist. By "dark place", I mean I was thinking about giving up and selling everything in my studio. I am now painting almost every day, enjoying the process, loving most of the results!! When I paint something that doesn't work out, instead of beating myself up, I chick it up to experience, wipe it away, and start fresh the next day! This is SO MUCH BETTER than my previous habit when I painted a "dud" which entailed eating too much This book saved me from a VERY dark place in my life as an artist.

I liked this - gave me something to think about as I don't always feel I can be bothered to paint (although once I've started I love it) as I then dread clearing up afterwards. Lots of tips and ideas about getting set up in a dedicated area so you can paint every day, and although the writer works in oils the information can easily be applied to other media. Look forward to putting this into action!Jan 21, 2019
Excellent Guide for the Daily PainterMar 06, 2018
I had a small block, reading this book helped me past it while teaching me to paint small.Feb 24, 2017
This is an informative book if you want to improve your artwork and market it successfully. It is a great book for beginners, young studio artists, people who have reached block. I am a watercolorist. This book is more applicable to oil painters or acrylic painters.Jul 20, 2018
This book is about painting what you see in front of you and painting everyday. This is my favourite style of painting. Examples of other artists work plus details about how they deal with creative blocks was a wonderful bonus. There is a lot of well thought out information here.Sep 14, 2017
Highly recommendedFeb 22, 2018
Skimmed this first time & thought, ok, i get it: paint everyday. But when I started re-reading it, I realized it was full of great tips from the author and other active painters. Now I have 4 pages of notes about everything from composition to color mixing.Feb 17, 2018
Great book for anyone who wants to learn small tips to greatly improve your painting skills.Take your time and choose the perfect book.
