Richard Schmid. Richard Schmid spent two years updating the original edition giving him the opportunity to fine tune and greatly expand what is generally regarded as the art world's foremost book for painters seeking serious instruction in representational painting. While all of the information in the original edition has been retained, Richard Schmid revised it for greater clarity, adding abundantly to the text in response to the thousands of artists who contacted him over the years with questions and suggestions. The chapter on color, for example, which was 48 pages is now 75 pages long. Alla Prima II is over a third larger overall, with over pages, and images of paintings, photos, step-by-step sequences, diagrams and bibliography. Plus, Alla Prima II includes a comprehensive index for convenience. I tend to stay away from modern didactic painting books filled with colourful pictures, preferring older books that are more descriptive.
